Nick Carter’s second adventure finds him and his quirky sidekick Bartholomew hired by the London insurer Llewellyns to probe a sudden spate of cargo‑ship sinkings in Panama. Their suspect is nightclub magnate Al Taurez, whose scheme is tangled with the Pacific Tuna Fleet champion, a sassy Panamanian woman, a lovey‑dovey young couple, and a parade of criminals and cut‑throats.
