About this title

From the Inside Flap:

DANGER IN PARADISE Jeff Cape has been kicking around Indonesia as an oil geologist, but he’s on his way home. But before his boat sails from Bali, he stops in for a drink where he meets Nicole Balashov, a bewitching White Russian trying to smuggle information out to the U.S. Cape agrees to take it with him but after she leaves, Cape sees a large, bald man rush out after her. Alarmed for her safely, he takes off after the man and misses his boat. Now every shady character on the island seems to be after him, including Mr. Chu and his mysterious serindit bird. Regina Williams, a seductive American woman. And the fat man himself, Apollo Fry, who will certainly kill anyone who gets in his way. All Cape wants to find again is Nicole—before it’s too late! MALAY WOMAN Jock Hamilton is on the run from Singapore. His unfaithful wife Eden has been found murdered and Jock is the only suspect. Stowing away in a ship bound for Kuala Tang, he overhears a plot to kill a young woman named Kay Allison, the widowed owner of a rubber plantation. Jock tries to warn her. But the task is anything but a simple one, because Jock finds himself immediately attracted to her—yet he can't tell her who he is. When the ship lands, matters only become more complicated when he decides to hide out at the home of his best friend, Gabriel Wing. Jock soon finds out that Gabb's restless wife Monique has plans of her own for him!

From the Back Cover:

Danger in Paradise is a mystery set in Bali and Malay Woman is set on a South Pacific rubber plantation. Both books read like a Robert Mitchum film and move at a brisk, involving pace.
