O olho do tigre

O barco de Harry era de aluguel, e lhe pagavam bem por isso.
Ele conseguia esgueirar-se com igual facilidade por entre os recifes de coral e as malhas da lei. Mas dois homens morreram. Morte violenta. E Harry compreendeu que estava novamente envolvido com os chefões do crime. . .
Eram altos interesses em jogo, E este era incerto. Em algum ponto das profundezas do mar, um tesouro em diamantes e ouro esperava, o Tigre! Muitos o procuravam. Somente um tinha direito a ele. Falhar significava a morte. . .

Beneath the sea's glittering calm, where the marlin swam with the shark, fish were not the only game.Harry's boat was for hire, and they paid him well. He could slip through coral reefs and the law with the same ease.But two men died. Badly. And he knew he was playing with the big boys again.The stakes were high, the game uncertain. Somewhere in the depths, a treasure of gold and diamonds waited. The tiger.
