Paradise is supposed to be all sunshine, colorful drinks, light conversation, and beach idylls — a place people go to escape their problems. Unfortunately for Captain Brian, the part-time
sailor/philosopher and full-time hedonistic hero of Greater Trouble in the Lesser Antilles, trouble has a way of finding him. When his friend Leif the Thief is found dead at the bottom
of a cistern, the much younger Billie insists that they team up to solve the crime. But Billie seems to have her own stake in the case, not to mention a much broader definition of partnership
than Captain Brian is prepared to explore. Meanwhile, a federal agent and a local constable make it their business to complicate the Captain’s investigations. It's enough to cause him to
consider leaving beautiful Flamingo Bay forever. Shady characters, an ingenious plot, and a vivid tropical backdrop make this an irresistible read for mystery fans.
