Description:

Fifteen years is a long sentence for anyone. It feels even longer for Eddie Nye, who goes in innocent and comes out dangerous. His rap sheet nails him for dope smuggling and three dead inmates. Some of it's true, but Eddie wants to know who's responsible for the rest. Now he finds himself at the center of the largest scheme of his life, in or out of cell C-93. It snares his brother Jack, the successful Wall Street freebooter; Karen, who invests her money with Jack and her emotions with Eddie; and Gaucho, the young liberator with a sharpshooter's eye. On a climactic night in the Caribbean, filled with equal parts menace and magic, Eddie will find the truth hidden in the pulse of an ancient mariner's saga--and watch his past, present, and future unexpectedly collide.
