Paradise can be murder! When Christian Fletcher dies in the fire that consumes the Bounty, destroyed against his will to prevent any possibility of ever returning to England, the men who risked everything for freedom find themselves without their leader -- and imprisoned forever in paradise. 'I never liked Fletcher Christian. Mister Fletcher Christian. Yet after I held him as he died, watching the great HMS Bounty burn, I feared for what the future may hold. The eighteen of us had risked everything for freedom; we had stood up to Captain Bligh's tyranny, but with no good man to lead us we were imprisoned in paradise. Blissful blue skies and tranquil bays were not going to be enough to save us from ourselves!' A story of low treachery and high adventure, murder under the palm trees, trouble in paradise and a lost Eden in the South Seas.
