From the legendary #1 New York Times bestselling author of Plum
Island and Night Fall comes this "action-packed, relentlessly paced
thriller" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) featuring US Army combat
veteran Daniel "Mac" MacCormick, now a charter boat captain, who is
about to set sail on his most dangerous cruise.
Daniel "Mac" Graham MacCormick seems to have a pretty good life. At age
thirty-five he's living in Key West, owner of a forty-two-foot charter
fishing boat The Maine. But after serving five years in the Army and
purchasing a boat with a big bank loan, Mac's finances are more than a
little shaky.
One day, Mac is sitting in the famous Green Parrot Bar, contemplating
his life, and waiting for Carlos, a hotshot Miami lawyer heavily
involved with anti-Castro groups. Carlos wants to hire Mac and The
Maine for a ten-day fishing tournament to Cuba at the standard rate,
but Mac suspects there is more to this and turns it down. The price then
goes up to two million dollars, and Mac agrees to hear the deal, and
meet Carlos's clients--a beautiful Cuban-American woman named Sara
Ortega, and a mysterious older Cuban exile, Eduardo Valazquez.
What Mac learns is that there is sixty million American dollars hidden
in Cuba by Sara's grandfather when he fled Castro's revolution. With the
"Cuban Thaw" underway between Havana and Washington, Carlos, Eduardo,
and Sara know it's only a matter of time before someone finds the
stash--by accident or on purpose. And Mac knows if he accepts this job,
he'll walk away rich...or not at all.
