the missing man. The locals are unwilling to lend him any support and appear unusually cold to his questioning. As he approaches the answers, Tate's interest increases despite hazards to his own well-being. A slow pace is maintained, fitting the island atmosphere. The action picks up as the puzzle
is pieced together.
