Miami PI Mike Shayne's reputation has gone global-and so has his enemies list-and there's a dark side to the Sunshine State in this classic mystery.
To anyone else, the Japanese man looked like a tourist taking a photo. But there was no lens on the camera-just a gun-aimed straight at PI Mike Shayne's head. Dodging bullets is not what Shayne expected during the Dolphins game, but his fancy footwork saved the day.
Shayne soon discovers that the assassin was sent by someone he's tangled with before: criminal mastermind Sir Geoffrey Adam. Now he's suspected of smuggling gold through Miami and Interpol wants Shayne to take him down for good. Or is he just bait?
Word on the street is that the gold will be stashed on a tour operation plane headed to South America. And with an Interpol agent now dead-and Shayne the prime suspect-there's no better time to take a vacation. But he'll soon discover that very few of his fellow travelers are who they say they are. And rest and relaxation are not on the agenda, only revenge and revolutionaries . . .
