Booklist Review

This first novel by the city editor of the San Juan Star is a vastly entertaining work set on the fictitious Caribbean island of Colon. Colon is an American possession, and successful realtor and local personality Barry Noble is a staunch supporter of Americanization in any form or fashion. Barry's pride and joy is a 1940 Packard, in which President Roosevelt rode. One day his beloved automobile is stolen and held for ransom by a Colon liberation organization. Barry turns for help to a man with whom he's never been on good terms, Mickey Melendez, columnist and investigative reporter. In an uneasy but imperative alliance--Barry wants his Packard back and Mickey wants a good story--the men together bring to light evidence of corruption on a grand scale in Colon's government. Humor and excitement blend superbly here. --Brad Hooper
