Lady In White

Vance Courage has sworn off life as a lawyer and is living comfortably off the millions of dirty dollars he helped salvage and keeps hidden in an offshore account. Out of the blue, he gets an offer to invest in a dive outfit in the Cayman Islands and the plan is simple-buy more boats and book lots of fake trips. He's intrigued and wants to legitimize some of the money but so far, every business venture he's attempted has been an unmitigated disaster. Lauren Gold, his cohort and girlfriend and herself a millionaire, catches a flight from Miami to the Cayman Islands to check it out-and promptly disappears.

Following a cryptic text message from the kidnapper, Courage meets a mysterious Cuban woman at a popular Miami tourist attraction prepared to receive the ransom demand. The lady in white knows secrets about his family and the source of his illicit cash; she warns him the counterrevolution is coming, and that 'Monkey' needs his money. Ricardo 'Monkey' Morales is an enigma-a real world Cuban-born James Bond rumored to be a drug runner, CIA operative and international assassin-but there's a problem. Monkey was shot and killed in a bar fight in Miami decades ago.

While Lauren's safety hangs in the balance, Courage discovers a manifesto written in Spanish detailing plans to stage a coup to overthrow the Cuban communist government. Desperately weighing fact from fiction, Courage finds himself in a strange world where dead men walk . . . and nothing is as it seems.
