On a mission to Venezuela for his friend James, Martin Billings is supposed to locate Clyde Walker, James' business partner. James needs him to sign some papers, but the man has gone sailing.
And how do you wrap up a deal when the other party isn't around?
When Martin does manage to track down the missing man's sailboat, he finds it burning on a Venezuelan beach. The authorities arrive and want answers Martin doesn't have. He doesn't even any answers he needs.
Walker's wife is vacationing on Margarita and doesn't seem to care about her missing husband; an ex British spy who has been tailing him, tells Martin that Walker left with a lot of moneyâ€"mob money.
To add to the confusion, a gringa, a foreign woman, is shadowing him too. She was taking pictures at the beach where the boat burned and they weren't selfies.
None of it seems to have a thing to do with the reason he's there, but Martin is caught in the middleâ€"again. He needs to get some answersâ€"preferably before Ugly Bill gets too tired of him playing detective.
