How could a sleepy island in the Caribbean have anything to do with the political chaos, tensions, and shady deals around the world in the 80s? AJ Bailey inadvertently finds out when she runs into a man who knows much more than the local rumours surrounding the wreck of The Oro Verde .

Book fourteen in this best-selling series has AJ mixed up in fall-out from CIA and Iran-Contra indiscretions from before she was born.
