Drug smugglers are flying their cargo into the Florida Keys to distribute throughout the United States when their plane crashes just offshore from Withrow Key. Diving on the crash site for the local sheriff, Jackson realizes everything isn’t quite what it seems. It is up to Jackson and his friends to make sure the drug cartel doesn’t see his home as a route for drugs ever again by performing a bait and switch.

    About the Author

    Chapter 1

    I don’t mind telling you guys, I thought I was going to be bored, but I think I’m actually starting to relax, the first angler said. I think my body is finally beginning to slow down.

    I thought you’d like it. That’s why I keep coming back to this little island. Withrow Key is quiet and that’s the way I like it. You get divers and guys coming out fishing, but that’s about it. Not all the hassles with the tourists going down to Key West or the crowds that only make it down to the northern keys, the second man replied. He leaned back in his fishing chair on the deck of his Hatteras-style fishing boat, the No Account – so named because of his career in banking, and it was what his ex-wife said about him during the divorce hearing.

    So, who needs a beer? asked the third man as he came out into the bright Florida sun from the enclosed cabin. You guys can fish all you want, but I just want to lie in the sun and drink my fill. Two hands shot up and the third man disappeared back into the cabin to fetch the drinks. For the three men, it was an opportunity to get away from their busy lives. None of them could spare the time to take a long vacation, but the little island in the middle of the Florida Keys was close enough that they could take off from their Miami homes and businesses and spend a couple days on the water, relaxing before they had to jump back into the fray of their high pressure world. It was quiet out on the water and that was the way they all liked it. One was in pharmaceutical sales, another in banking and a third worked for the company that managed the port of Miami.
