- Synopsis
- When a U.S. senator is found brutally murdered on the grounds of an exclusive golf club on St. Matthew’s, one of the British Seaward Islands, Henry Tibbett, Detective Chief Superintendant of Scotland Yard, is dispatched to the tropical resort. Although a young islander has been arrested for the crime, Henry soon discovers that the murder rests on complex motives reaching far beyond the Caribbean. As he delves deeper into the hidden forces that are vying for control of the island, Henry travels between the explosive underworld of the black revolutionary movement and the glamorous world of the club, whose influential members are linked to the United States government and one of America’s powerful industries. Another brutal slaying and a kidnapping lead Henry deep into St. Matthew’s rain forest and then—unexpectedly—to the cosmopolitan glamor of New York. The shocking evidence Henry uncovers points to corruption emanating from some of the world’s vital political and economic centers. Once again in the words of The Washington Post, “It is delightful to have Chief Superintendant Henry Tibbett and his wife Emmy on the scene of the crime.”
