Williams is yet another great hb writer who's output is nearly impossible to find. I've read SCORPION REEF, which I liked a great deal (and I don't normally go in for sailing/boat settings). I read HOT SPOT/HELL HATH NO FURY shortly after the movie came out and I remember liking that, too.

One day some smart publisher is going to take a look at the amount of out-of-print stuff in the hb field, reissue a bunch of titles in cheap, accessible editions, and make a killing. Sort of the way Black Lizard originally did it.
