This is one of a number of books I got from a serious collector.  They were all bagged and most are in near pristine condition.  I took them out of their plastic collector’s bags in order to provide great photographs of the awesome quality of these books.

About Book:

This is a tough, fast-moving story liberally salted with sex, about a discontented war veteran who sets up a charter-boot business in on unfriendly Florida town. In bucking a murderous boat monopoly, he makes friends with a crippled boy, a couple of old soaks and a red-headed girl who is more than friendly.

Basil Heatter, the son of radio commentator Gabriel Heatter, was born on Long Island on March 26, 1918. He attended schools in Connecticut, then went abroad when was 16 for a two year travel stint through Europe. Returning to America, he went to work for a New York advertising agency. He enlisted in the Navy in 1940 and during WWII served as a skipper on a P.T. boat in the Southwest Pacific. Besides being a news commentator himself, Heatter wrote twenty novels of intrigue and adventure—beginning with "The Dim View" in 1946, the story of a young PT boat skipper—as well as several non-fiction works revolving around his love of the sea. In fact, he lived for years off Key West on his own self-built sailboat, The Blue Duck. He passed away June 12, 2009, in Miami, Florida
