Synopsis:Dillon and Lane are surprised and pleased when Lane's Uncle Jim offers them the use of his new 40' Chris-Craft for their trip to Catalina Island and honeymoon cruise to San Diego's Mission Bay. Uncle Jim is a Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy and a father figure to Lane and her sisters. The couple accompanied by two family members sail to Catalina Island where the remainder of their small family on both sides join them for a fun weekend which culminates in a Saturday evening wedding.

After the wedding, Uncle Jim has the newlyweds drop him off on the north side of nearby San Clemente Island on their voyage to Mission Bay. Lane and Dillon reluctantly agree feeling guilty over his generosity.

After delivering Uncle Jim to the island, the newlyweds slowly motor south along the isolated far coast of the island when suddenly they are both knocked overboard into the water. The boat still in gear but with no crew, heads ghostly towards Mexican waters. Dillon manages to get them safely to shore, and working together they find food and shelter. After days of being marooned on the island, one evening they find a hysterical young woman calling and searching for her Australian boyfriend. While camping illegally on the beach with their sailboat anchored nearby, something horrible had happened!

Dillon and Lane soon become embroiled in a web of deceit, international conspiracy, unexplained death, political and naval corruption, kickbacks and missing persons.

"Death of the Island Fox is intricately plotted, with a compelling cast of characters that slowly ratchets the tension," said Don McGuire, of Brighton Publishing LLC. "This book is without question, a work that showcases the incredible literary talent of the author."
