Synopsis
Paradise is a place you go to escape your problems. Unfortunately, for Captain Brian - part-time sailor/philosopher and full-time hedonistic hero of this entertaining Caribbean novel - trouble has a way of finding him. First, his dissolute friend, Leif the Thief, is mysteriously murdered. Then the seductive Billie insists that they team up, in more ways than one, to solve the crime. Unfortunately, a federal agent and a local constable decide to complicate Captain Brians carefree existence. All adds up to an entertaining mixture of shady characters, sunny places and escapist tropical fiction.
