Description
When a debt-ridden Palm Beach playboy decides kidnapping is the fastest way to restore his fortune, he assembles an unlikely crew that includes a Bahamian ex-con, a volatile enforcer, and a beautiful psychic preacher. Their target is bookmaker Harry Arno, a veteran of the criminal underworld whose instincts for deception may prove sharper than those of his would-be captors. Set amid Florida’s sun-soaked luxury and underworld intrigue, this darkly comic crime novel explores greed, double-crosses, and the dangerous gap between a scheme and its execution. Known for crisp dialogue, sly humor, and sharply drawn hustlers, the author delivers a fast-moving caper populated by characters always angling for the advantage.
