About the book

'Seems like every carpetbagger and swindler in the world is targeting the Pacific Islands right now. Drug dealers, tax dodgers, off-shore bankers, casino operators, tobacco companies, B-grade movie makers ... The Russian mafia will probably be next. I tell you, Max, there are more sharks around the airport than there are outside side the reef.'

When photo journalist Max Davidson is offered an assignment to Avaiiki to investigate a possible aid scam it also gives him the chance to escape a tragedy which has scarred his life. On the island Max meets a fearless newspaper editor, Mose Baumann, who is waging a campaign against corruption in high places. As the lives of Max and Mose become enmeshed, the forces of despotic authority are brought to bear on them, with deadly results.
