Description
Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. Eighteen-year-old Eddie Nye was bound for U.S.C. and a bright future that fateful summer in the Bahamas. But somebody set Eddie up. Instead of four years of higher education, he did fifteen behind bars for drug smuggling. Eddie went in innocent, but with three prison murders under his belt, he comes out dangerous. Although all he wants is to stay clean, Eddie's future won't be that easy. The nightmares of his past—corruption, greed, and most of all a show more stunning betrayal—are on a collision course with a daring plot hatched in a prison cell. To learn the secret of his own life, half-hidden in an ancient mariner's saga, Eddie must face the hardest choice a free man can make. show lessTags

More like 2.5 stars. I've read a couple other books by Peter Abrahams, & I loved them - couldn't put them down. This one had an intensity to it, but there was something that just didn't hold it together enough. I liked Eddie; I found him sympathetic; I wanted the best for him. But ultimately I was left still wanting.
