Carefree Clement Scheutz and his girlfriend Samantha love to roam the Caribbean wherever their schooner will take them. But they are out of money and head to Culebra, an island with few tourists and easy living. Clement is offered a shipping job of taking a load of cargo to Cuba. Needing funds, Clement ignores his better judgment and decides to take on the job. But Migdala, owner of a local island restaurant, warns Clement not to take the job, and warns him that he will be asked to bring something back in return. But because of his great need for money, Clement is soon off on the quest and finds himself dealing with the Cuban coastal Patrol, who in return give Samantha a packet to take back. But things go haywire during the transaction between Scheutz and a man named Harding, who has a confrontation which leads to unspoken threats. But making Harding an enemy might prove a problem in the near future. As Samantha leaves Culebra to return home, Scheutz finds himself spending more time with Migdala, working at her restaurant and helping the woman with issues regarding her daughter. But when a hurricane makes its debut, murder is added to the mix and things only get worse.
"Falling off the Wind" by Richard Meibers is a mystery with a bit of romance. Life on the sea is explored in beautiful detail along with island life. Clement Scheutz is a great character with a humble edge that makes him likable and easily relatable. I really enjoyed this interesting tale. Meibers has a natural gift of storytelling that will surely set him up with a fan base. Great read.
