China Point

by Tom Snyder

When fraud investigator Dann Arthur suspects top executives in his own company of criminal conspiracy, he heads for Catalina Island and a day of sailing to clear his head. Yet the wind fails him off China Point and Dann’s small boat is nearly run down by a rogue yacht. Risking his life, Dann scrambles aboard the yacht to find the only person below decks—is dead. When the yacht comes under attack minutes later, Dann takes a serious header on the wet deck. Regaining consciousness, he finds the Coast Guard has arrived but the body has disappeared. Drawn into a maelstrom of police, lawyers, and the yacht’s seductive owner, the mystery deepens until Dann is forced to go head-to-head with murderers who now have him square in their sights.
