On the backward island of Weasel Cay, the idyllic life has come to an end. A struggling private pilot named Charlie Spinnaker helps his brother arrest a small-time Cuban drug smuggler. But within hours, a strange chain of events begins that plunges him into the world of global politics, drug cartels, and espionage.

With the added involvement of a wayward singer-songwriter, a famous newscaster (who happens to be his ex-girlfriend), and a caffeine-addicted spider monkey named Elvis Aaron Presley, Charlie's peaceful world spirals out of control like a Category 5 hurricane. And, of course, there's a brutal Russian hit man who wants him dead, as well.

With an offbeat sense of humor, madcap adventures, rich characters, and a plot with more twists than a Key West conga line, Chadd Wheat makes a hilarious and witty debut.
