Mike Farleigh has a plan. Marry the rich heiress Vanessa who owns land, a business and a sailing yacht. His plan involves him ingratiating himself with her by pretending he knows a lot about racing sailing vessels. He gets on her crew, but unfortunately her cousin and guardian is also there. And he watches Mike very carefully. So Mike has a plan to get rid of cousin Hugh.
The world of racing yachts is mostly unknown to me, and this story was written by an actual racer, so some of the finer points in the descriptions was lost on me, but overall this was an interesting story. If only for the ending which was very unexpected. I was thinking Mike would kill Hugh, but somehow give himself away by his ignorance of boat stuff, but what actually happens is a lot more gruesome than that. And pretty disturbing.
