As he races to find the real killer and save his marriage, Finn is forced to partner with Linda Blake, the desperate captain of the Pacific Belle and mother of Lucy, a very sick little girl, to attempt the one thing he has devoted his life to stopping.In order to clear his name and save a child’s life, Finn must smuggle narcotics by sea into the United States…and avoid the net that his CBP colleagues have cast for him.

Goodreads review by Paul on February 17, 2019

The main character is not very respectable, macho brawn-over-brains type, and his wife is a left-wing, California, no borders lawyer fighting for illegals. Closed this one after 1/4 way through.......more
