"Wild" Bill Barnaby's dropped off the face of the earth and
big sister Alex heads for Miami, Bill's last known
sighting, on a harrowing hunt to save her brother ... and
maybe the world. Truth is, Alex has been bailing her
brother out of trouble since they were kids. Not that
Bill's a bad sort. More that he acts first and thinks
later. Unfortunately, this time around, Wild Bill will be
Dead Bill if Alex doesn't find him in time.
Alex blasts through the bars of South Beach and points her
search to Key West and Cuba, laying waste to Miami hit men,
dodging Palmetto bugs big enough to eat her alive, and
putting the pedal to the metal with NASCAR driver Sam
Hooker.
Engaged in a deadly race, Wild Bill's "borrowed" Hooker's
sixty-five foot Hatteras and sailed off into the sunset ...
just when Hooker has plans for the boat. Hooker figures
he'll attach himself to Alex and maybe run into Bill. Maybe
Hooker can salvage what's left of his vacation. And maybe
Hooker'll get lucky in love with Bill's sweetie pie sister.
After all, Hooker is NASCAR Guy. And NASCAR Guy is good at
revving a woman’s engine.
The race to the finish is hot and hard, taking Alex and
Hooker into international waters, exposing a plot to grab
Cuban gold and a sinister relic of the Cuban missile
crises. Creative cussing and sexual innuendo included.
