AN AFFAIR OF HONOR

by Robert Wilder ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 15, 1969

Reading this with your eyes closed (a possibility the author should not altogether overlook) it takes place on the overly familiar Wilder shores of love and commerce in the rubescent Bahamas. The scene of his other novels just like this one about Max Hertog, exciting to women, ruthless to all men, who plans a land grab of the Grand Bahama when there's some talk of developing it (gambling casino); and his secretary Carol who falls in love with him; and his daughter who marries ""a Jew"" in real estate who is just as much of an operator as his father-in-law; and Royal Keating, the handsome black son of Hertog's faithful Big Maum who is assassinated when running on the Progressive Liberal Party ticket; and Big Maum's expressionless revenge..... You know it well -- and the market, tired sporting blood.
