About This Book
Creative characters guide the reader through what in many ways is a sailing adventure...er...caper around Jamaica... A hidden gem. -Richard J. Wall, Editor.David Beckwith's knowledge of and affection for Caribbean culture and its wind-blown intricacies are showcased in this fast-moving story set in Jamaica's hot, salty underbelly. Having had some experience in Jamaica, I can say this story is as colorful as the country itself and is filled with unique nicknames, Jamaican dialect, and the sense of abandon that exists in the lawless parts of its society. I can still smell the jerked chicken and meat patties from here. -Reef Perkins, bestselling author of Deep Air and Sex, Salvage, and SecretsWill and Betsy Black's latest adventure takes them back to Jamaica. When Jamaican Shower Posse second-in-command, Harry Dog, is given what appears to be a simple, routine assignment, he delegates it to Bigga, the posse's third-in-command, who selects Oney, Which Flava, and Twinie, three of his young up-and-comers, to carry out the task. After this no-brainer goes awry, however, Harry Dog is forced to send three reliables, Hi-top, Monkeyman, and Mighty Mouse, to get things back on track, but bad luck continues to strike, making it appear that if Harry Dog didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all as the hole they are digging just keeps getting deeper and deeper.
