Hi all - A customer remembers reading the following about 7 years ago, and
hopes someone remembers the title and author info. Plot is as follows - A
couple steal money and flee to the Caribbean, where they begin to make an
island out of garbage and sewage. They eventually declare the island a
country, and begin to make treaties, etc. There may be a character named Lord
Tortalon or Lord Tartalon in the book. Possibly a mystery.

I am always singing the praises of the Fiction list to my co-workers. I'll
keep my fingers crossed for this one too. Thanks, Anita

It sounds like Thomas Perry's The Island, though I don't have the book to
verify character name.
