Overview
"Leaving behind a dowdy northern winter for the warming delights of the French Riviera, Martin and his three student friends soon find their feet, turning a tidy profit as beach-bum salesmen and taking to the joys of life by the Mediterranean with relish. Martin soon gets addicted to those delights, jacks in his degree and goes down deeper into a life less ordinary - barkeeping and bed-hopping his way through the rich-trash yacht and drug culture." "Back in the eighteenth century, out on the high seas, officer-surgeon Martin Law is trying to adapt to life on board the slave ship, the Anne. As his captain steers his precious cargo - but not his crew - to safety through a raging, swelling storm and onward to the riches of the uncharted African coast, Martin comes to realize that down deeper lie secrets, desires and freedoms of uncanny power." "The laws seem different out on the ocean, criss-crossing the Mediterranean or hugging Africa's shore, couriering yachts or cocaine, trafficking in spices or more human contraband. Living outside the dry land's dry laws is liberating, but the lawgivers and the lawkeepers always turn up, looking for their justice."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
