Crossing Clayborn

Clay Redmond, a Miami real estate broker living the good life, was all set for early retirement until his business partner ?screws? him out of his interest in a choice piece of real estate. Clay?s golden years nest-egg issue goes to court but even his own attorney and the presiding judge side against him. Cheated again, he felt, by a corrupt justice system. Bitter and dispirited for a time, the broker?an ex- Marine?begins to plot a strategy of revenge. His plan includes, in addition to murder and mayhem, seducing the crooked business partner?s young and ravishingly beautiful wife, Vanessa. His plan didn?t include falling in love with her, which happens along the broader oad to satisfying his sense of justice. Clay Redmond concocts an elaborate scheme that takes him to the heart of Fidel Castro?s Cuba. The intrigue expands further to Santo Domingo and, with the help of two Cuban friends, he conspires with a powerful Spaniard who maintains a thriving drug empire in the Andes Mountains of South America. Over the course of the story, Clay?s initial idea of just how he would ?eliminate? his business partner and regain his retirement nest-egg undergoes many variations. This story will appeal to those who love mystery, romance, adventure, Caribbean intrigue, and, of course, the bad guys getting their comeuppance.
