Capo Cruise Lines

A gritty comic crime debut where paradise collides with peril, and every flirtation has consequences. Josh Cohen is a cautious engineer who boards a Caribbean singles cruise to prove he can "make good mistakes." Instead, one unlucky table assignment seats him with four glamorous women whose family ties run deeper than neighborhood pride—and straight into organized crime. What begins as awkward flirtation quickly spirals into skeet shooting, near-death swims, smuggling detours, and a suitcase that isn't his. When customs officers slap cuffs on him, Josh finds himself framed as a mule, caught between jealous boyfriends, cartel threats, and a lawyer whose favors smell of smoke and desperation. With the ship's glittering façade stripped away, loyalties shift and every favor carries a dangerous price. To survive, Josh must decide who to trust: the friend who pushes him into trouble, the woman who might be protecting him, or no one at all. Fast, funny, and tense, Capo Cruise Lines is a humorous crime noir of love, larceny, and dangerous flirtations on a Caribbean cruise. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven thrillers, ensemble humor, and the femme fatale allure of noir with a comic twist.
