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 show more 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. show less
