Product Description
O. C. Strunk’s previous novels, Three-Two Count (PublishAmerica, 2005) and An Ever-Fixed Mark (PublishAmerica, 2007), featured protagonist Professor Matthew Bartholomew Glass struggling to find a simple, peaceful, and quiet life only to be thrust into a host of evil doers—in Maine by an international assassination league and in North Carolina by a vicious dog-fighting ring.

In this novel, Glass, still hoping to carve out a peaceful life as a small businessman in Calabash, North Carolina, once again is distracted when the nude body of an unidentified teenager washes up on his home on the Intracoastal Waterway. Caught up in a series of violent events that make the national immigration problems more than a little personal, the Yankee professor reluctantly undertakes the search for the murderer of the girl. His investigation leads him, and his friends, into an international network of traders in human slavery.
