The Coconut Affair John De Caynoth

Publisher Marketing: Intending to escape redundancy and the aftermath of a messy divorce, Douglas Jay is looking for nothing more than sun, sea and sand - and maybe a little holiday romance and mystery thrown into the bargain - while he plans his next move in life. He never expected to find himself the victim of mistaken identity, in the middle of a criminal investigation into an international drug smuggling ring operating out of the Caribbean, but that's just what he gets. When he gets detained at the airport by attractive police officer Joelle de Nouvelas, it sparks more than just a desire to help him forget his troubles back home. Joelle has been assigned to watch him, following a tip about the identity of one of the drug smuggling cartel operating out of the small island of Kaeta. So much for a relaxing time of sun, sea, and sand! In a series of coincidences the net of the criminal investigation closes in around their suspect, the police call in an American detective and the waters start hotting up for Douglas. Will his burgeoning holiday romance with Joelle allow her to believe this is all a case of mistaken identity, or will she see him arrested? A thrilling tale of romance and mystery, crime and passion, set against a Caribbean paradise, between an upstanding police officer and a guy who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
