Katy Marshall is a small-town girl who is lured into the Caribbean for an adventure for which she is unprepared. She meets the love of her life in Felix and suddenly finds herself in danger when a drug cartel believes she has discovered the secret of Isla de los Muertos. Adding to the peril is a Denver oil man who claims to have married her in Las Vegas, and has insured her life for 20 million dollars without her knowledge. In order to survive, Katy Marshall finds she must summon all her strength to escape the island. Sheila Lee Hall reaches the height of her literary powers with this story of love, passion, desire and adventure set on a small island off the coast of Jamaica. Only missing from this story of Caribbean intrigue is the old parrot shouting out, "pieces of eight, pieces of eight," from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
