Product Description
Jessie and Neal Fox survive ambush and sabotage while delivering to authorities a video camera they salvage off the Mexican Riviera. Could these attacks mean the tape holds proof that a fatal accident at sea was really murder?
From the tropical heat of Zihautanejo to the grandeur of Mexico City, Green Flash will entice sailors and non-sailors alike to savor this passage into the world of boats and foreign ports.
Reader ReviewsThis fast paced maritime thriller will not disappoint those that love a good sail-tale and "who done it." Straight away you are lured into the many twists and turns the story takes. At the center is a very likeable couple, fortunate to be able to live the life they love on their sail boat. While cruising the beautiful Mexican coastal waters they discover the decomposing body of a missing woman. Horrified, they tie her up along side the boat and then discover a video camera still velcoed to her arm. Securing the camera on deck they have now placed themselves in the forefront of the case and the story zooms off wildly, while you frantically turn those pages as fast as you can to keep up. The first few chapters are shockers, (deomposing body parts, shark attacks, graphic drowning scenarios ) and the reader will surely discover their innate fears stimulated. In contrast, you will still be able to feel a part of the sailing life style; socializing on deck and in town, the feel of the ship cutting through the water and the lull of the boat as they fall asleep at night. While not a life style suitable for everyone, the rewards for those taken by it are captivating and I personally enjoy discovering all the details. I would not mind meeting this likeable couple again, in say, Costa Rica?
