Caribbean's Keeper - Boland, Brian

. .

Résumé :
Cole Williams seemed born to the sea, racing sailboats and crewing yachts during his time as a cadet at the Coast Guard Academy, but when he reported aboard a cutter patrolling the Caribbean nothing he did seemed to please the command. His motivation to do the right thing always seemed to land him in hot water. At the end of a cruise in which he served admirably during open ocean rescues and hot pursuit of drug runners, Cole is unceremoniously kicked out of the Coast Guard for what the command deems reckless behavior and a bad attitude. That's when a dejected and disillusioned Cole decides to go rogue and make a few runs for the druggies he's spent so long chasing at sea. The twists and turns at that point are devious and dangerous as Cole shifts from modern-day pirate, to criminal fugitive to mole for his old service and the Joint Task Force charged with stemming the flow of illegal narcotics. While seldom in the headlines, the southern border of the United States has been a battleground for decades where the men and women of the Coast Guard and dozens of federal agencies have fought many a battle to keep illegal narcotics off the streets. In his debut novel, Brian Boland shares a story born from more than a decade of experience fighting the war on drugs.
