Publisher Description
Jack Turner is The Pirate. He's a former LA skate punk turned Coast Guard deckhand. He's a loveable knucklehead with a sordid past, but he's trying to get on the straight and narrow.
As a teenager growing up in Los Angeles, he was arrested for stealing a car, but a lenient judge allowed him to avoid probation if he agreed to join the Coast Guard.
On his first assignment after boot camp, Jack is aboard a ship patrolling the Caribbean for smugglers. He knows he has an opportunity to turn his life around. But, when he discovers easy access to large quantities of seized contraband, Jack starts playing a dangerous game on both sides of the law. Quickly he finds himself torn between easy illegal money and a new found loyalty to his ship, her crew and their captain. Oh, and his girlfriend Wendy from back in LA -- she has news for Jack that he is struggling to believe.
"This story turns everything you ever thought about law enforcement upside down and inside out. It's totally believable but probably not for those who like their good guys good and their bad guys bad. At one point or another I was either hating or loving the main character but it didn't really matter because I was reading as fast as I could to find out what would happen next." Amazon Review
