Product Description
A luxury cruiser comfortably offshore, float plane landing close by. What could be more idyllic...or misleading. When the two parties meet they exchange more than greeting -- money and threats, for example -- but part with the promise of favors. But promises are for breaking if Tucker Loomis changes his mind. Which he may do, given the size of his latest scheme: to get the federal government to buy the island from him at many times its real value. He'll go to any length to make sure that nothing comes between him and his payoff.
