Publisher Description
A rushed rescue mission doesn’t go as planned for retired Marine Jesse McDermitt and the crew of Gaspar's Revenge. The two kidnap victims are rescued, but they’d rather be taken back to the Jamaican drug runners who were hired to kill them than return home to laid-back Beaufort, South Carolina, and give the man who wants them dead the chance to hire someone more competent.
Crisscrossing hundreds of miles of open Atlantic Ocean, with a weather eye on a powerful hurricane, Jesse and his crew come up with a plan to lure out the man behind the double murder plot. A high speed run from the Out Islands to the South Carolina coast is fraught with peril. However, Jesse knows that the real danger lies in the sleepy little coastal town not far from where he was once stationed.
When southern politics, power, and money collide, double crosses are the name of the game. Guns blaze and big diesel engines roar, in the spooky marshes of the Lowcountry, as an innocent child's life hangs in the balance.

I have spent my life on the water . Party boat owner and captain and commercial fisherman, to by a year round waterman. My career has been around Cape Cod, MA, have spent time at Ocean City, MD, Fort Myers and Naples, FL and Liberia, West Africa .
To date I have read all of Wayne’s books and have enjoyed them all.
I realized that in his writings I become a character in the story . A Hollywood extra, or local color. I am actually part of the story . For that I thank you very much. I read a lot and mostly in this theme. I tried his his first “Jessie” book a couple years ago and have read all since then.
Give Wayne’s stories a try. I can not wait for him to tell me another story .
