Last Days of Atlantis — Jason Vanhee

The manmade mobile resort island of Isla Blanca is in a death spiral: hounded by creditors, ignored by tourists and forgotten by the world. So when the owners decide to scuttle the place in international waters as a desperate bid for attention, professional surrogate traveler David Mueller returns to the place where he spent the most important weeks of his youth, the wondrous island playground where he got high, slept around and maybe fell completely in love. But as he spends the last days tracking down nervous businessmen and violent thugs, he finds that not all the islands's secrets have been uncovered, and that love can lie quietly waiting for you. Will he have time enough before the ocean swallows Isla Blanca to salvage something from the fall?
