 The rumors of "Black Border" are the most likely answer, but it's also
 possible that the querent might have heard of a 2001 book called
 "Black Squall", by Lori Stone, described in an interview here:

 >From the interview:

 "Now for the Internet rumours. Riddle me this; name a fictional
 character who lived on a houseboat in Bahia Mar, had a next door
 neighbour who was a wiz with financial matters, would have been around
 his mid-sixties, had grey eyes, was a known adventurer, served in
 Korea, had a brother, had a daughter called Jean he didn't know about
 till late in life, played football for a while and, most unusually of
 all, had a secret closet behind the seven foot mirror in his house
 boat. Oh, oh, ...it's on the tip of my tongue.... help me out here!'

 "L[ori] S[tone].'Gee, there are a lot of clues there, so if you can't
 figure that one out on your own I'm certainly not going to help
 you!...."
