A tangled web of violence and betrayal drive this story of international intrigue

After a dishonorable discharge from a top-notch covert Coast Guard position, Zach Morrow is left with almost nothing. When a Homeland Security agent asks him for his help in exchange for an honorable discharge and his full pension, Zach agrees. All he has to do is go back to his hometown and get information on an old classmate. That old classmate is Duncan Crowley, a highly successful smuggler of booze, cigarettes, and pot who's branching out for a bigger score―a shipping container that Homeland Security thinks is a weapon of mass destruction.

An action-packed novel of deception and double crosses, Night Road will have you racing to the end to find out where allegiances really lie.
