(MYSTERY/COMEDY)A priceless painting by Gustav Klimt vanishes into the briny thin air and everyone aboard the seven-day Caribbean cruise is a suspect. This mysterious comedy set on the high seas examines the vastly different shipboard lives of the high-class passengers who enjoy a lido-deck life of luxury and the underprivileged crew who live a secret, sordid, and sometimes Dickensian life below deck. The story quickly sails out of control as it explores the often seedy and always fast-paced world of cruise ship art auctions. Beni Bayani, a Filipino room steward for Festivus Cruise Lines becomes unexpectedly entangled in the cunning art heist after Gunner Crossman, a quirky and crossword-obsessed sleuth, is called onto the crime scene by Seven Seas Insurance Company.A colorful crew is found aboard the cruise ship, including Madison Brighton, the beautiful showgirl who brings her big dreams and complicated past out to sea, and who isn't willing to settle for just a ship mate. She wants a soul mate. But instead of Prince Charming she finds a crew of filthy pirates below deck. Daniel Fuhrman, a complex thief with unclear motives, is the leader of an eclectic band of burglars who believe it is their destiny to steal one of Europe's most valuable artworks. When the heist goes awry, the thieves are left with the unsettling feeling that they are the ones who have been bamboozled.Who will walk the plank? Who will command the helm? Batten down the hatches, pull out your brass spotting scopes, and follow Madison, Beni, Daniel, and Gunner deep below the waterline as they unravel a mystery that is much more meaningful than it appears from the surface of the sea.
