Synopsis

Inadvertent embezzler Blake Calloway high-tails it to the Caribbean, a step ahead of the Feds and desperate to restart life as an anonymous divemaster in a tropical paradise. On Blacktip Island, though, Blake quickly discovers "tropics" doesn't mean "paradise," and rookie boat hands stick out like a reef at low tide.

The locals are quirky: a landlord who swears he's Fletcher Christian reincarnated, a boss who likes fish better than people, a sloshed resort manager with a sex-crazed wife, a possibly ax-murdering neighbor, and a girlfriend who just might turn Blake in for the reward money. Blake steers a ragged course between them, trying to straighten out the mess he's made before the cops can track him down and haul him away.

Blacktip Island is an irresistible comedy for anyone who's ever dreamed of trading the rat race for a hammock under the palm trees.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Armed with a newly-minted master's degree in creative writing, former journalist Tim W. Jackson knew he was qualified to be a bartender, a waiter, or to apply to a PhD program. Instead he chose Secret Option D: run off to the Caribbean to work as a scuba instructor by day and write fiction at night. More than a decade later, he still wishes that was half as interesting as it sounds. Or even a quarter . . . Jackson is the award-winning author of the literary novel Mangrove Underground and The Blacktip Times humor blog. His second novel, Blacktip Island, a comic misadventure set in the Caribbean, is due out September 10. His "Tales From Blacktip Island" short stories have been published in literary journals worldwide. He is currently concocting his next Blacktip Island novel, The Secret of Rosalita Flats.
