Product Description
As vacationing Ben Candidi and Rebecca Levis sail through International Waters toward Grand Bahama Island, they receive a strange welcome—a sinking cabin cruiser with a dead man at the helm. Ben knows how to patch bullet holes below the waterline and Rebecca knows how to estimate time of death. And they agree that the West End marina is the right place to bring the body. To avoid trouble, they play it dumb and treat the cocaine-smuggling marina tenants as the divers and sport fishermen they are pretending to be. Unfortunately, the mailbox corporation in Miami that owns the yacht ignores Ben's $100,000 salvage claim—and the Bahamian police won't let him move the yacht to Florida. The harder Ben and Rebecca press their claim, the more sinister West End becomes. Should they cut their losses and run? Or is it too late already?

I like mystery novels with an intriguing plot, fascinating characters, good writing, with vivid descriptions of a place (or industry or historical time..) . This novel has it all. A fun read. I've read all five of the Ben Candidi books, and this is even better than the others.

As scientist Ben Candidi and his beautiful soul mate Dr. Rebecca Levis sail toward the Bahamas for vacation, they encounter and salvage a sinking boat with an obviously murdered man aboard. Welcome to Paradise: home of good cops, bad cops, drugs and double dealing. The story unfolds and draws you in, with sharp and accurate details that keep it fresh and with pacing that keeps you turning the pages and builds to a "can't put it down" climax. Dirk Wyle's characters are such fully realized people that you expect to meet them on the street in West End, Bahamas.
