A liar and a charmer, Jim Rush is a young American with a weakness for trouble. On the run from the British police - he's wanted for a murder he didn't commit - Jim finds a hideaway in St. Elena, a small Caribbean island where his English girlfriend, Jane, has secured them an invitation. Quickly tiring of the snobbery and childishness of Jane's uppercrust friends, Jim feels trapped. On the one hand, he can't seem to avoid a paparazzo bent on snatching pictures of Princess Diana on a neighboring island; the photographer, Jim knows, would be well paid for a shot of the man on wanted posters throughout London police stations. On the other hand, to stay among Jane's set means enduring the taunts of an egotistical host and joining in their puerile games. Jim can't resist playing a game of his own when he encounters a couple of small-time hustlers who claim to have found sunken treasure. When Jim attempts to turn the tables on these con men, the result is murder. Jim is once more a wanted man - and this time he may not get away so easily.
This sometimes surreal suspense novel features a young American adventurer who gets in over his head in an attempt to best two treasure hunters in the Caribbean. Fleeing the London police, who seek him in connection to an accidental death thought to be murder, young Jim Rush joins a permanent house party at the home of a wealthy, puerile Englishman named Guy on the Caribbean island of St. Elena. On a neighboring island, Jim meets two sailors, Mike and Drew, who are attempting to excavate a sunken Spanish galleon, the Gloriosa. Thinking Jim wealthy, the two try to lure him into the project; he plays along, knowing he's being conned, looking for an angle of his own. Another accidental death and a turn for the worse on St. Elena as Guy's party games become nastier ( la Lord of the Flies) test Jim's wiles to the limit. While Grant-Adamson (Curse the Darkness) turns out a suspenseful thriller, the protagonist and those who surround him lack soul and charm, offering little to interest readers in their story. (Feb.)
