Virgin Cay and A Night Out by Basil Heatter

Litchfield Reviews Virgin Cay and A Night Out by Basil Heatter for the Lancashire Post

Lancashire Post book review by Nicholas Litchfield: In two suspenseful novels set in and around the Gulf of Mexico, the late American author Basil Heatter tells the stories of a shipwrecked boatman who is persuaded to commit murder for the price of a new ship, and a shrimp boat captain who unwittingly gets embroiled in a drug smuggling operation. A blend of crime fiction, nautical fiction and suspense, Virgin Cay and A Night Out are two exceptional novels by sea-loving Heatter, son of renowned newscaster Gabriel Heatter.
