Trying Not to Die in the Tropics

About the Book

Tropical islands are usual places of rest and relaxation. But in this action-adventure novel by DBWolfe, no respite is afforded to Wolfe Rebelle and his deadly Caribbean comrade, Dagmar. In possession of sensitive knowledge which could expose the greatest conspiracy of all time, the pair runs for their lives only to be found out at every turn in plot and way. Their war with fate seems all but lost but in a final attempt to survive they find themselves on a tourist island off the coast of South Carolina. Hilton Head Island known for its golfing and tennis is better known in the intelligence community as the elephant´s graveyard for ex-spooks, black ops warriors, and witnesses with Italian enemies. Bent over old men amble along bike paths hiding in plain sight from their pasts. Men who frolicked poolside and at tennis in Saigon, now do the same in assumed names and funny shorts.Wolfe, hoping for help from his friends, finds himself at ground zero. He must be silenced and no tactic is beyond consideration by Uncle Sam´s hired killers. TRYING NOT TO DIE IN THE TROPICS has an unique set of characters which bring to life the exotic locales of the text. Having lived and traveled extensively in the islands and Europe, DBWolfe´s brisk tale takes the reader to the edge repeatedly leaving one with the wet taste of rum and sweat on a cold winter´s night.
