Tom Larkin falls in league with Jamaican enchantress, Minnie Rabelle, who lures him to the dark side. A deadly exchange at sea in a raging hurricane raises the stakes -- 17th Century royal letters that will alter the balance of the global economy. Larkin's hair trigger electrifies with twists that baffle.

From the high-end bidding of estate liquidators and appraisers into the jaws of death, Tom Larkin believes the truth is to die for, but the man-eaters he encounters run the gamut from hot-blooded vixens to cold-blooded reptiles. Larkin's shoot'm up style prevails, knowing acceptance of defeat is never an option.
