Reviews

[Ron Lyon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Book. Exciting, well writen and a quick enjoyable read.

[Pa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a moderately interesting suspense tale involving organized crime and a yacht cruise. I am a tad bothered by the title. This is presumably a metaphore, but the tide image is too close to the open ocean nature of the cruise, but tide per se played no role in the story. Ill wind might have been a better metaphore.
