In the first of the Bahamas series, Bahama Snow, Defense Force Commodore Jerome MacArthur's sons are shot to death on Sandy Cay. The drug operation he masterminds is terminated. In Bahama Payback, MacArthur discovers that Florida charter boat captain and former Marine, Morgan Early, is responsible. He swears revenge. Columbian drug lord Victor Torres sends MacArthur a bloody, stomach-churning message that he must immediately re-activate their smuggling operation. Drug Enforcement Agency District Commander Larry Reid is under orders from Washington to eliminate the corrupt MacArthur. When efforts to recruit Morgan Early for the task fail, he enters into a Faustian bargain with the Commodore. Early's beautiful fiancée, Rhonda Marcus, is kidnapped to draw Early to the Bahamas. Morgan Early must summon all his nerve and resourcefulness to rescue Rhonda, meet the deadly threat posed by MacArthur, triumph over the treachery of the ambitious DEA District Commander, and thwart the renewed efforts of Victor Torres.
