Indeed the corresponding arrival of an old associate turned wealthy retiree, Rafferty Fawkes only causes the man further resentment. That is until Fawkes suggests an all-expenses paid trip to the Island of Deianira to track down the cache's owner.The island of Deianira offers Ira a new lease of life and his aversion to Fawkes begins to thaw. But things begin to deviate as Ira finds himself marooned, shot at and makes further discoveries that complicate the goal of reuniting the cache with the irregular Mandeep Pull.Out There- Rothko Bay is a story in the grand tradition of the adventure yarn.
