Fraud on the High Seas: A Maritime Financial Mystery

Rating:
Summary: A Thinking Man's Mystery
Review: "Fraud on the High Seas" is a wonderful first effort by new author A. Gwinnell. It has all the elements of a good read; in-depth character development, fast paced and highly lucid. The reader is propelled, along with the book's hero, Harry McDowell, into "peeling the onion" of the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a oil supertanker. The book's locales range from Florida to London, Paris, Greece and Bermuda. The places cited in the book are genuine and may well be familiar to the well-traveled reader. Having just finished "The DaVinci Code"(yes, I was the last person on the planet to read it), I found "Fraud on the High Seas" to be a similarly satisfying and fast-paced mystery novel. Highly recommended. I await author Gwinnell's next effort.
