For one man, the Cold War never ended
Michael Callaway is a lot like the battered-looking old shrimp boat he's purchased. But looks can be deceiving. Both used to be something else. Callaway a customs agent, the boat a World War II Patrol-Torpedo boat. Both have hidden strengths and secrets. A long trip on his slow, old boat will help Callaway escape the horrors of the last year. Too many murders. Too many memories. He heads from his home in Florida to visit his last and only friend, exiled to an aging former Navy Seals training outpost a hundred miles south of Anchorage, Alaska.
Callaway's battle to the death in the harsh environment will pale in comparison to the battle he's about to face from a determined madman. Arkadi Frankovich, Russian freighter captain and former KGB killer, never accepted the end of communism in Russia. The U.S. Army base in Fairbanks has a nuclear armed missile. Stealing it and launching it into Siberia would start World War III and a return to Russia's glory days.
With newfound love and the fate of the world on the line, every bit of Callaway's strength, skill and investigative talents will be tested in a race to unravel the dangerous game playing out in some of the most beautiful and treacherous country on earth. Can he stop this man from taking his shot-a suicide shot-that could destroy them all?
