Synopsis "decompression: a Mojo story"
Move over, Carl Hiaasen - it's Mojo time! Documentary Producer Mojo becomes unwittingly involved with a murderous plot to control construction of a luxury resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands, which threatens to destroy historical treasures and reveal intriguing native secrets. Meanwhile Mojo struggles with her raucous on-again, off-again relationship with divemaster dog Mike, her hippie mom's arrival on island, and a cantankerous crew. The murder of a local historian is linked with the discovery of a potentially history-changing artifact in an island cave, which Mojo steals and stashes underwater in an eel hole. She is relentlessly stalked by various evil parties, each with a financial interest in the gigantic Highpoint resort, which is threatened by this discovery. Set in the early 1980s, Decompression is a nostalgic look at life on a remote Caribbean island chain, a lifestyle long since lost in the world's ensuing waves of technology. This rollicking, action-filled adventure is packed with weird, quotable island characters, dangerous dives, speed boat and helicopter chases, murder, plot twists, and riveting romance. It's set in exotic locations all over the archipelago, including a posh clothing-optional resort at the fictional private island, Mangrove Cay.
