Rope's End

This story of adventure, romance and violence, with a strong nautical background, is set in the West Indies and South America. When James Huwes is appointed second-in-command of a magnificent super-yacht he finds himself thrown into a bright playboy world where charming but utterly ruthless enemies compete for the two women he loves. Sexy shenanigans, deceit, revenge, and the prospect of great wealth lead to several murders and suspected murders - some of them, perhaps, entirely justified. James faces down a revolution and endures an alarming spell in a South African prion where he is attacked in the drk - but not by humans.
