After experiencing attempts on their lives, the three Lewine cousins are summoned by their family friend Senator Domingo. He informed them that their vacationing grandparents, Wilford and Patricia Lewine, have been kidnapped and being held hostage somewhere in the outback of Australia. The three cousins are not only shocked by the news, but are mystified when they hear that the grandparents are accompanied by someone posing as their grandson, Ashton, who has been dead for nearly 15 years. The three cousins, Jessica, Rhiannon, and Madilene, travel to the desert near Alice Springs where they learn that an old enemy, who they thought had perished in the Amazon jungle, was alive and well. His new goal is to eliminate the entire Lewine clan except for Wilford. The old man is kept alive only because he knows the location of an old hidden cavern where the Drug cartel had hidden a large fortune of Inca gold. The three cousins constantly face the danger of death as they attempt to rescue their grandparents and to unlock the identity of the mystery person posing as the dead grandson. This time their old enemy seems to have the upper hand.

Strange Things at Alice Springs
Eddie Gilbert is a Chicago native and firefighter/paramedic with a knack for finding trouble in paradise. In Caribbean Calling (Red Engine Press, August 2006), author J.D. Gordon's reluctant hero returns to a world that keeps pulling him back, a place where sunny tropical breezes mask a dark underbelly.
This is Gordon's second book in his series featuring Eddie Gilbert, a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan and Parrothead (a commonly used nickname for fans of singer Jimmy Buffett). He doesn't stray far from the formula that made his first effort, Island Bound (1stBooks Library, May 2002), strike a chord with many of the same Hawaiian shirt- and grass skirt-wearing loyalists who flock to outdoor music venues every summer in search of that elusive lost shaker of salt.
This time around, Eddie is not just away on vacation from his job as a firefighter/paramedic for the fictional Salt Creek Fire Department but is down in Tampa, Florida, testing the waters a bit. He's taken a trial job in the employment of Bruce Klein, the influential shipping tycoon and ex-Congressman whose daughter Eddie had rescued from the hands of some modern-day pirates in Island Bound.
Asked by a fellow firefighter why'd he'd go back south after all the trouble his last vacation had brought him, Eddie simply shrugs and says, "I don't know, for some reason the Caribbean calls to me."
At first, Eddie is disappointed when he finds that his new job seems nothing more than that of a "high-priced courier," but, not surprisingly, there's much more to his assignment than first meets the eye. Soon, Eddie finds himself once again in the position of trying to save a damsel in distress. This time, it's Dr. Elaine Keller, a recent medical school graduate who's been taken prisoner by a Caribbean island drug lord.
Caribbean Calling is classic escapist fiction, filled with adventure, colorful characters and exotic locales.
If you like pina coladas and getting caught up in a good story, Caribbean Calling is the perfect escape for you.
