Make Me Sweat: A Caribbean Bank Heist Thriller
A paradise built on lies. A banker running out of luck. A storm that wipes the books clean.
When Paul Higham left the US to run a private bank on the Caribbean island of St. Christopher, he thought he'd found heaven with air-conditioning. Instead, he's built an empire of shell companies and half-truths-propped up by his marriage to Kiana Dunham, the island's compliance officer and daughter of a powerful pastor-politician.
On the eve of their wedding, the perfect life begins to rot.
An American auditor arrives early.
A cartel client demands his missing millions.
And a body turns up in Paul's office.
As the lies compound and the island's moral weather darkens, Paul finds himself trapped between a righteous father-in-law, a blackmailing brother-in-law, and an auditor who smiles like a hangman. Then the hurricane hits-an act of God with impeccable timing.
Sharp, atmospheric, and darkly funny, Make Me Sweat is a story of money laundering, marriage, and moral collapse in a world where every saint has a shell company.
Fans of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and Ozark will find familiar pleasures here: exotic sunlight, polite corruption, and a slow, elegant slide toward disaster.
