BLACKTIP ISLAND. A NOVEL - Tecno-Libro

inadvertent embezzler Blake Calloway high-tails it to the Caribbean, a step ahead of the Feds and desperate to restart life as an anonymous divemaster in a tropical paradise. On Blacktip island, though, Blake quickly discovers tropics doesn t mean paradise, and rookie boat hands stick out like a reef at low tide. The locals are quirky: a landlord who swears he s Fletcher Christian reincarnated, a boss who likes fish better than people, a sloshed resort manager with a sex-crazed wife, a possibly ax-murdering neighbor, and a girlfriend who just might turn Blake in for the reward money. Blake steers a ragged course between them, trying to straighten out the mess he s made before the cops can track him down and haul him away. Blacktip island is an irresistible comedy for anyone who s ever dreamed of trading the rat race for a hammock under the palm trees.
