When the world’s most famous writer of thrillers, Hoad Powell, vanishes on a heavily-guarded private island in the Caribbean with a glamorous woman wearing a diamond bracelet worth more than some countries, fashion-editor Blake and her handsome, sexy husband, ex-cop Ralph, must rescue him.
But can they?
Did the celebrity author disappear willingly? Or not?
Is he a prisoner? Or is he an international arms dealer who sells nukes to terrorists, dictators, and rogue militias around the world?
Will Blake and Ralph succeed in their quest?
Or will they fail?
And what will happen when oh-so-macho Ralph finds out that Blake is making more money than he does?

No, Ruth does not write her own reviews.
She was a reader before she was a writer, an editor before she was a publisher.
She grew up on Long Island’s North Shore back when it was still rural farm country.
She was studious and athletic, the valedictorian of her class, and she had teen-age dreams of becoming either a lawyer or a professional figure skater.
She is the daughter of a creative, independent-minded father who dropped out of med school to chart his own course. Her mother was an RN whose grit and no-nonsense determination rescued her and her sister from drab futures in a fading New England manufacturing town.
She is the older sister of a damaged younger brother whose unsteady life ended in murder, and the younger sister of an older half-brother whose lively spirit and expansive nature were lifelong sources of affection and inspiration.
She has lived in Manhattan for decades and has been married for over fifty years (to the same man.)
She has a raucous sense of humor, and an addiction to the written word inherited from her mother who devoured the latest bestsellers and from her father who is remembered by those who knew him as “always reading.”
Ever curious, she’s looking forward to the future, although, considering the way things are going, she sometimes wonders why.
Yes, she’s working on a new book. :-)
