About This Book

Novellikokoelma sijoittuu Etelämeren tropiikkiin ja seuraa merimiehen‑kauppias David Griefin seikkailuja, joiden keskellä ovat laivamelu, kuumuus ja hankalat taloudelliset kiistat. Tarinat kuvaavat keinottelua, pelastustöitä ja henkilökohtaista sisua sekä kohtaamisia paikallisten ja merimiesten kanssa; juonissa yhdistyvät käytännön älykkyys, karski huumori ja moraaliset valinnat, kun päähenkilö suojelee etujaan ja selvittää ristiriitoja arvaamattomissa olosuhteissa.
