Coach

Nick "Coach" Wallace never wanted to be an ambassador. He's a retired high school football coach and former Marine who came to the Bahamas with his sons, Ray and Darren, on their sport fishing boat Tiburon. When a survivor from a sunken refugee boat showed up on the dock, that changed everything. Sol de la Torre's testimony exposed a U.S. military operation that blew up a dozen boats and killed at least sixty innocent people. As Nick helped bring that tragedy to justice, he gained favor with Prime Minister Patti Moss who saw great character in him and urged him to accept the job as US Ambassador to the Bahamas Islands.

In that capacity Coach uncovered a network of corruption stretching across the Caribbean - American lobbyists bribing officials; a sitting congressman personally profiting from casino deals, and US and Bahamian politicians facilitating the schemes.

When corrupt lobbyist Robert "Ace" Aldridge walked into Coach's office expecting cooperation, he made a fatal mistake. He assumed the new ambassador would play along like all the others. But Nick Wallace isn't a typical diplomat. He's a coach who spent thirty years teaching teenagers about integrity. He knows how to read people, build cases, and stay stubborn when powerful interests push back. And he's recorded everything.

Coach is a story that is cathartic for everyone. The little good guy representing the smallest of countries wins while the powerful, well-connected grifters become exposed, are investigated, prosecuted and sentenced.
