Produktbeschreibung

A gambler with a crushing debt triggers a haunting series of events. To escape the debt he owes a notorious racketeer the man leaves his past behind and goes missing. Desperate, he follows in the wake of the headstrong young woman he knows, but who now wants nothing to do with him. Their separate flights take them to a mysterious island in the Indian Ocean with a colonial past where they clash again.

Woven into this backdrop is the political intrigue of an upcoming state election. Dirty campaign tactics, unholy alliances made between former foes and smooth-talking politicians who don't mean what they say are part of it. And when one of the candidates, who happens to be the gambler's brother, stumbles on an astounding secret, he spirals toward danger.

The insular Kori island tribe with secrets of their own, visitors on a retreat, ruthless drug dealers and a corrupt cop are the various threads in the story. And they are all bits of the same puzzle whether they know it or not. The good, the bad and the mixed propel the action, and like a wave that crests, falls and disappears into the sea the characters play a part in the mystery and then move on with their lives.
