Pacific Swell

Jonathan Lennox, a successful immigration attorney in Los Angeles, is cruising comfortably, although predictably, through life. All that changes when the voluptuous and vivid Carmen Escobar bursts onto the scene. Johnny finds himself quickly under her spell and involved in a plot to rob Carmen's benefactor, Carl Roban, of his money and his yacht. The action moves out onto the high seas of the Pacific Ocean, but the storms and rough water and nothing compared to the twist of fate which lands Johnny on a Hawaiian fishing boat, captained by the wise and affable Kai. However, Carmen is not done with Johnny yet, and he once again finds himself twisting and turning under her influence. All comes to dramatic head in a Kona marina, and Johnny is again riding a Pacific Swell.

A fun thriller

I found this story to be fun to read. I wanted to see how Johnny would end up in the middle of the Pacific. Yeah, he let Carmen talk him into that. And then he goes back to Carnen and gets into even more trouble. I guess he's not bright for a lawyer. Luckily, Kai is there to talk sense into Johnny. And Johnny makes some actual friends. Not as much action as I'd expect from a thriller, but it's enough for me. Overall, I enjoyed it.
