Somebody is trying to invade the island, and that somebody could be anybody: the CIA, NSC or IRS; the most powerful, corrupt bank in the U.S. or the South American cocaine mafia--or it could just be the Los Angeles incarnation of the devil himself, a shadowy figure with a checkered past named Fat Jimmy ...

Seller's Description:
Fine book in a fine dust jacket. 319 pages First Edition. Perry's fourth novel. A group of grifters and misfits take over a tiny Caribbean island and make it into a haven for tax evasion and money laundering "and that's when the shooting starts." Lawrence Block calls Thomas Perry" one of the most thoroughly satisfying writers around." Fine in fine dustjacket.
A gripping and hysterical story about a con man who builds an island in the Caribbean and takes advantage of its extraterritorial status. Perry told me there were some problems with promotion in the US and the book never got the attention (he and I thought) it deserved.
