lifestyles of the rich and decadent

The cover of this novel makes it look like another caper novel in the tradition of THE ANDERSON TAPES, 11 HARROWHOUSE, or THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE, though it is an entirely different animal. The last surviving member of a once-wealthy family comes home to an exclusive Florida island inhabited by some of the richest people in America, intending to take it over with his small band of hand-picked criminals and loot it of millions. This caper is only a small part of the novel, and only one more jaded thrill for those whom nothing is sacred or forbidden. The set-up for this crime takes a while, and it is all these criminals can do to keep from tearing at each other's throats and tip the authorities before they can pull it off. Like I said, not a caper novel, but if you're looking for well-drawn characters in a sordid '70s sub-DYNASTY-like atmosphere, you won't be disappointed.
