It was obvious that Luz Stella was restless, moody and anxious.  Nina Bell had an idea - the suggestion was made that Luz go on a midweek starlight casino cruise.  After all, it was understandable that Luz was acting the way she was because her lover, Stefan, suffered a terrible death and she, too, was a target.

Luz changed her appearance at the suggestion of Bismark Pacheco, Costa Rica's top detective.  She had $100 to gamble courtesy of Nina Bell.  Luz had some luck at the slot machines then moved on to roulette.  It was there that she realized Pacheco was also on the ship.  Luz overheard Pacheco say, "It never ends".  He told her what had happened in Costa Rica regarding several killings.

Pacheco knows he needs help - who better to assist him then Luz.  She wanted the world to be a better place. 

What do Luz and Pacheco discover?

Much of this novel takes place in the U.S.   This novel is an exciting roller coaster type adventure.  The influence of South America makes the plot very intriguing.  You will love the combination of Pacheco and Luz working together.  You start to wonder if Luz is helping Pacheco or is it the other way around.  The plot will keep you in suspense.  This is a great read and one that is recommended.
