Tricky Business

The Extravaganza of the Seas is an ugly ship fully worthy of its name. As a refuge for offshore gamblers, the rickety craft attracts senior citizens, grifters, hard-luck waitresses, erstwhile high-rollers, and a strange melange of shadowy hired help. Then one day, the Extravaganza steams into a fierce hurricane that shakes everyone so vigorously that everything seems to change. A tasty Dave Barry concoction.
