Trader of the Lost Isle (Nick & Delia Court Series Book 2)
Description
Trader of the Lost Isle, set in a tropical paradise, is a tribulation through the dangers of crossing the Mafia, with a dash of action and mystery.
When Nickerson Courte wants to open a trading post on the Caribbean island of Antigua, he has no clue that all merchandise there is Mafia controlled. And when his incorrigible curiosity leads him to witness the gruesome murder of the Island’s only Constable, the Mafia wants his blood. Add to this a colorful and friendly Taxi Driver, Nick’s feisty wife Delia, corrupt officials, prostitutes, the drunken madness of Carnival, boat chases, arms traffickers, and FBI agents… well. This could be a Steve Martin’s movie.
Having lived on these pristine beaches and breathed the trade winds fragrant with frangipani, I did work with the islanders. Consequently, the backdrop of this novel also reflects the scars of slave and master, while digging into the slime of the underworld. Many of the incidents in the book are based on factual and often ludicrous happenings.
