Running Scared
by Ken Douglas
Joey Sapphire wakes next to a dead man, the son of the American Ambassador to Trinidad, in a boat at anchor. It quickly dawns on her that she has to get rid of the body, because it looks like she did it and they hang murderers in Trinidad. So she weighs it down and drops it overboard. But she knows she's not safe, because the killer knows about her. She finds out that her husband Mick is blackmailing the daughter of the President of the United States and that the dead ambassador's son was Mick's partner. Now some very bad men think she is in on the plot. Joey is in trouble and she has nowhere to run.
