About this ebook
A gambling resort off the coast of New Orleans is in for stormy weather and deadly games in this 1930s crime novel by the authors of The Invisible Host.
Twelve miles from the mainland, Paradise Island offers rich bon vivants the finest playground in the Gulf of Mexico. It is well known for sports, gaming tables, and the legendary Peacock Club. But federal agents Andrew Dillingham and Maj. Jack Raymond suspect something more sinister is happening on Paradise—especially when a fellow agent winds up dead in the midst of a tropical storm.
There to investigate a drug smuggling operation, Dillingham and Raymond find the stakes have been raised right up to their necks. Suspects include the island's suave and mysterious owner and a lovely femme fatale with unaccountable wealth. And with Dillingham's grande-dame of a grandmother paying a visit to the island, the storm is far from over.
