For almost two decades the first week of December in Miami has been synonymous with artists, art fairs, champagne-soaked parties, pop up installations, an explosion of new graffiti, and traffic gridlock. But the Florida city looks far different this year. After the coronavirus pandemic forced Art Basel Miami Beach to announce in September that it was canceling this year’s fair, the galaxy of satellite fairs around the city followed suit. Art Basel is typically one of the busiest times for Miami, and the jolt could not have come at a worse time for this tourism-and-hospitality driven city hit hard by COVID-19.

Read MoreFreddie Crow grew up in a small town in northwest Florida and developed a taste for excitement at an early age. He learned to fly when he was just a teenager and parlayed that talent into a lucrative career, piloting planeloads of marijuana from Central America into North Florida. He had the highly sought-out ability to navigate a plane so low over the Gulf of Mexico that he could actually fly under the radar.

The two men had chosen paths that were initially pointed in opposite directions, but they were about to intersect. As the Crow Flies: The Redemption of an International Drug Smuggler&...
