is a work of fiction, set in The Cayman Islands. It concerns a diabolical plot by the government of Guatemala to steal the lists of people from around the world who deposited money (often illicitly) in Cayman banks, as a shield against payment of taxes. Tom Shaw, a private investigator from Detroit, goes to Grand Cayman to transfer money, on behalf of Lisa Brewster, whose wealthy husband had been kidnapped in Guatemala. Tom and Robin, a local lady, and her friends, become involved in stopping a bizarre plot by an unusual group of very sadistic people. They are gangsters, robbers, thieves, liars, pirates, or PICAROONS. You will learn something of a beautiful group of islands and, in the end, be surprised as never before
