Book Details

The Second book in the Charlie Palmer Series,
chronicles the adventures of a rookie Federal Wildlife officer in Florida’s Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge. He and Miranda have built a home on the banks of the Santa Fe River, using in part, profits from the sale of a lost Spanish Treasure they discovered on their property. In this installment, a cocaine cartel decides to use the Florida wilderness along the Gulf Coast to bring their product into the United States—and things quickly turn deadly for the rookie officer.

Meanwhile, his new bride, Miranda, has completed medical school and, with the financial independence created by her and Charlie's discovery of a fortune in Spanish Gold, opened her clinic in Gainesville, which she has named the Arrendonda Medical Practice. Using her funds, she has been able to renovate an existing office near Alachua General Hospital and invest in the most modern medical equipment, attracting bright young doctors to join her practice.

Now, if only Charlie can manage to survive his new job.

 

Book Excerpt

Throwing caution to the wind, Federal Wildlife Officer Charlie Palmer throttled up his airboat, turned on his flashing blue lights, and accelerated toward the sound of automatic weapon fire. As he rounded the last turn in the marsh grass channel, his strobing lights caught the shape of a trawler’s stern heading toward the open water of the Gulf. He could barely distinguish the name “Esperanto” painted across the stern. Behind it, a small boat floated against the marsh grass with a heavy plume of black smoke and flames pouring from the deck. What the hell is going on out here? He wondered.

Quite a lot, as it turned out...
