Tropic Hearts

Tommy Bird, surf legend, is living the good life, flying quietly under the radar, when he is unexpectedly reacquainted with a young girl from his past -- now a provocative and headstrong young woman and entrepreneur. As their new romance blossoms under the sultry magic of Ipanema Beach, she suddenly becomes an unwilling pawn in a lethal turf war, a bargaining chip for the most ruthless crime boss in Rio. And Tommy Bbird is suddenly her only hope. Bird must reassemble his old team and again immerse himself in the world of violence and intrigue he had vowed to leave forever. Played out against the backdrop of some of the world's most lamorous tropical hot spots, this is a rollercoaster ride through the seedy underbelly of the Caribbean. It's a tour of the islands you won't find in any travel guide
