Jake Travis goes undercover for the FBI - he had been trying to expose a corrupt Miami art dealer. Phillip Agatha is a gallery owner whom the FBI has been watching for some time.

Agatha lives a domineering life, a life where everyone obeys his every wish, including murdering someone who might have aggravated the man to some small degree. The Gail Force is Agatha's yacht, of which the man is very proud. It is reputed to be the largest yacht on the seas that is privately owned.

Trying to get in tight with Agatha, Jake realizes that man's beautiful assistant Christina is in danger of her life. Now that he is cruising on the yacht, Jake must find a way to get off safely himself and also to save Christina.

The Gail Force by Robert Lane is reminiscent of John D. Macdonald's work but carries the danger and intrigue three or four steps further. It's full of action, great characters, and tips on living a good life. This is one you don't want to miss.
