Описание книги

The year is 1989 and Joe LeRice, an expat Englishman has it all, a beautiful wife, a successful business and a peaceful life in the idyllic Cayman Islands. As he enjoys the fruits of his labor, he is disturbed to learn that the world of casino gambling has cast its eye on the country he now calls his home. A consortium from Las Vegas visits Grand Cayman where gambling is illegal and Joe observes as the wheels of politics, lubricated by lust and cash, threaten to turn this tranquil place into yet another gambling Mecca.<br><br>After witnessing the attempted suicide of a close family member who is involved in negotiations with the consortium, Joe suspects that they are ruthlessly determined to have their way at any cost. He goes to Vegas in a desperate attempt to hamper their efforts and on the way, he meets young Bobby, a streetwise hooker whose toughness becomes invaluable to Joe&#39;s mission as he comes face to face with demons that almost destroyed him as a young man.

The Cayman Conspiracy was written in the late 1980s during a time of intense, personal struggle in the author’s life. The original cassette tapes that contained the manuscript had long since been lost and only two physical copies remained. One was with the author and the other was sent to a publisher in London. In 1990, the author was living as a homeless person on the streets of Manhattan where he would push hotdog carts to survive and it was during this time that he made a private decision not to publish.

During a brief personal ceremony in a homeless shelter in New York in 1991, he quietly slid his copy into a trash can and it was forgotten about....or was it?

Fickle Lady Luck had only needed an hour to lose all of Higgins’ money. Charlie scoffed through the episode, actually enjoying the pathetic entertainment that Higgins was providing. Like the hard-core gambler that he was, Higgins played it to the bitter end, geeing himself up with fist clenches, clichés and ludicrously comparing himself to a Spartan warrior facing unfair odds. He even changed his emergency five-dollar note into a single chip and placed it on thirteen. The number stayed true. It was over.

A burly security guard invaded Higgins’ wreckage. “Excuse me, sir. The general manager would like to see you in his office. I’ve been instructed to accompany you.”
