About this ebook

A gambling resort off the coast of New Orleans is in for stormy weather and deadly games in this 1930s crime novel by the authors of The Invisible Host.

Twelve miles from the mainland, Paradise Island offers rich bon vivants the finest playground in the Gulf of Mexico. It is well known for sports, gaming tables, and the legendary Peacock Club. But federal agents Andrew Dillingham and Maj. Jack Raymond suspect something more sinister is happening on Paradise—especially when a fellow agent winds up dead in the midst of a tropical storm.

There to investigate a drug smuggling operation, Dillingham and Raymond find the stakes have been raised right up to their necks. Suspects include the island’s suave and mysterious owner and a lovely femme fatale with unaccountable wealth. And with Dillingham’s grande-dame of a grandmother paying a visit to the island, the storm is far from over.

Author

Gwen Bristow

Gwen Bristow (1903–1980), the author of seven bestselling historical novels that bring to life momentous events in American history, such as the siege of Charleston during the American Revolution (Celia Garth) and the great California gold rush (Calico Palace), was born in South Carolina, where the Bristow family had settled in the seventeenth century. After graduating from Judson College in Alabama and attending the Columbia School of Journalism, Bristow worked as a reporter for New Orleans’ Times-Picayune from 1925 to 1934. Through her husband, screenwriter Bruce Manning, she developed an interest in longer forms of writing—novels and screenplays. After Bristow moved to Hollywood, her literary career took off with the publication of Deep Summer, the first novel in a trilogy of Louisiana-set historical novels, which also includes The Handsome Road and This Side of Glory. Bristow continued to write about the American South and explored the settling of the American West in her bestselling novels Jubilee Trail, which was made into a film in 1954, and in her only work of nonfiction, Golden Dreams. Her novel Tomorrow Is Forever also became a film, starring Claudette Colbert, Orson Welles, and Natalie Wood, in 1946.
