Virgin Cay: Gus Robinson has lost his boat sunk beneath the waves thirty fathoms down and nearly lost his life as well. But he manages to swim to land at Spanish Cay, and that's how he meets Clare. She offers him her bed, her body, and later offers him the one thing he needs most of all: $20,000 which he can use to buy a new boat. All he has to do to earn enough for a new boat is to commit murder, to kill the one person who stands between Clare and the inheritance she needs to continue to live her extravagant lifestyle.A Night Out: Johnny Flake is trying to outrun his past, which is how he finds himself captaining the Vixen on a run down to Cuba with Cutter and Cruze. Cutter would just as soon kill you as look at you, and Cruze is so far into the bottle he's beginning to smell like death itself. Flake has a bad feeling about this trip, and isn't surprised to find that instead of smuggling booze off the island, he finds they're carrying heroin instead. But he soon discovers new problems when mutiny sends him into the waters and onto the yacht being manned by playboy Allan Chambers and his oversexed wife, Jessica. With a storm raging, and the two ships both heading for a little island off Key West, it's going to be a long and turbulent night.… (altro)

Shipwrecks, Seductive Sirens, Murder For Hire, & Adventure

A story about a sailor shipwrecked at sea, a gorgeous seductive she-devil, a question about what a penniless wanderer now without his boat would do for $20,000, and the twisted conniving lives of the idle rich and their hangers-on. This is a fairly short, quick-reading paperback that has a lot of classic pulp themes and plants them on the shores of a tiny cay in the Bahamas. There is a lot here that should have appeal to different readers including a murder plot, a sailing adventure, a twisted romantic knot, the bored lifestyles of the nouveau rich. And the theme of sailing on the open seas. A very satisfying little book. ( )
