"A page-turning sprint.... The pace never slackens."
--Kirkus Reviews
Brand new explosive fiction from the author of Fields of Wrath, City of Strangers, and Wages of Sin
Wyatt Stoke had just about pissed his life away by the time he hit forty. When his uncle died, he suddenly found himself inheriting a rundown house in Baytown, Texas, an equally rundown salvage tugboat (Yemanja), and the scrappiest rag tag crew of small-time crooks and addicts that ever yanked a sunken yacht off a Galveston shoal.
But during a salvage and rescue job on a container ship that's burning out of control in the Houston Ship Channel, Wyatt and his first mate come across a pair of corpses they were not meant to find. Within twenty-four hours, Wyatt finds himself and his crew in the crosshairs of Louisiana drug runners, corrupt law enforcement officials, and an FBI investigation into just what happened on that burning boat.
Dodging bullets, sharks, mercenaries, oil platform explosions, and drug-addled Cajuns, Wyatt and his crew have to criss-cross the Gulf on the surface and the seafloor itself to uncover a smuggling operation that's processing fuel for one of the worst terrorist armies in modern history.
Genre: Thriller
