The second Martin Billings book. Martin goes to Venezuela to get some documents signed for a friend, but the man who is supposed to sign them has gone sailing. Martin finds his sailboat burning on a beach but it's too far gone to know if he was still in it. If he was, who left him there? And who is the mystery woman taking pictures of it? And why is an ex-British spy interested in the man too? Martin needs to find some answers, and preferably before Ugly Bill gets too tired of him playing detective.

When I got off the plane in Grenada the hot sun welcomed me, touching my face. It spread its warmth like a soft caress. I inhaled the scented air deeply, hoping it would displace the recycled and over-processed air that had permeated my lungs on the plane.
Grenada is a small country, and not even big as islands go. The airport terminal, as well as the formalities of going through customs and immigration, seemed refreshing after dealing too often with the sterile environs of Miami International. You got off the plane and had a little walk under a pleasant sky, felt the trade winds blowing in from the East, and generally got a much-needed boost after being cramped in an airplane.
For once though, I wasn't really noticing the clean, fresh air or the green backdrop that ran up to the chain link fence. As I walked the tarmac I anxiously scanned the faces on the other side of the chain link fence, looking for one particular face. That face would quite likely be the only yellow face among the many black and few white faces looking out at the plane and its arriving passengers as they disembarked. I saw a few that looked familiar, but none was the one I was looking for.

Author review: This is the second book I've worked on with Noris and I've been delighted both times! She is responsive and asks questions about slang--wanting to get it right. |
