Drumbeat No Lie

By Martha Crikelair Wohlford

Book Overview

Drumbeat No Lie is a fictional caper that involves drug smugglers operating on a laid-back, pristine little island many years ago somewhere in the Bahamas. Where pirates and rumrunners once plied the waters under sail, the drug cartels now use speedboats and helicopters - and the cargo is not plundered gold and booze, but pot and cocaine. Woody Cameron sets up operations at an abandoned island resort that he has purchased, recruiting help among the riffraff eager to make a big score and the free spirits hoping to bankroll an island-hopping cruise, courtesy of the drug trade. Pete Mathews, proprietor of the Sandy Cay Club on a neighboring island, keeps a watchful and disgusted eye on Cameron and the comings and goings of his henchmen. This is a story of intrigue, drug busts, murder and romance, with its share of humorous, rock-happy characters. Anyone who has visitied the Bahamas or dreamed of visiting the Caribbean will be caught up in the story.

Idyllic caribbean

I have spent the better part of 9 years in Caribbean islands like the fictional Sandy Cay and must say that Martha Crikelair has captured the feeling and spirit of the islands. Her likeable villians and fun loving characters depict an idyllic Caribbean lifestyle many of us dream of. This book is a good way to escape to the islands from the comfort of your own living room. victoria
