Santa Marta Hotel

Gabriel Magee, ex army and British Secret Services, heads to an idyllic island for well earned R and R. He is immediately embroiled in the corruption and violence of the island and uses his military and security training to tackle a mass of problems on behalf of his old military friend, Roger Kirk, who owns the Santa Marta Hotel.
The powerful and dangerous Gomez-Gomez, the Mayor, is his nemesis in all aspects of the story- drugs, gangsterism, grand theft, prostitution, extortion and extreme violence. There are lighter moments, not least through his involvement with the attractive and charming local interpreter, assigned to assist him.
Throughout, nothing is as it seems.
