‘Call’ to Hamilton
A Timothy Beckon novel
Publisher Description
In a reunion of sorts, Timothy Beckon teams-up with his good buddy, Petey Harding, to take on an improbable ‘call’—nab a human trafficker and bring him back for questioning. The scene is set in Bermuda during the start of the tourist season. All of this is orchestrated by the cold and detached Kenneth Williamson of the National Security Administration [hush-hush]. It involves recruiting another of Timothy’s friends, Sterling Crisp, a former Vegas casino surveillance agent who has Bermudian citizenship.
Side trips include meeting-up with the social worker, Robyn Friendy, in Orlando, FL (O-town) who sheds light into the psychology behind human trafficking. She has an eye for Tim yet oblivious as to how he’s currently involved in a love interest: Allison Watson. While the ‘boys are at play’ in Bermuda, circling the deck walks of a cruise ship and mopeding around the North Shore Road of the island nation, Allison steps forward in her growing bodyguard career to protect a pop star, ‘The Viva’ who does not want to get ‘popped.’ And as always, the MAC Security Consulting crew have their own ongoing travails in the Nation’s Capitol.
Tim et al.’s target is Emanuel Saunders whose despicable business is nothing less than slave-trading. Since the man’s penchant for passenger ship voyages to Bermuda’s waters should make him an easy prey for apprehension, Tim, Petey and Sterling find-out otherwise. Later, Tim and Petey adjust their compass and, well, ‘save the day.’
This story revolves around the theme of freedom of movement and how one person’s life and its pursuance is dependent upon another’s life. Though our heroes realize and practice this principal, it takes clunking skulls together for bad guys to get it through their heads.
