Review & Description
When the Ocean Raider vanishes in the Salish Sea, investigative crime writer Damon Quinn isn’t convinced it’s a hijacking. But his skepticism is dispelled by an intensive air-sea search from Alaska to Oregon that turns up nothing—no flotsam, no oil slick, no crew. Four researchers and a fishboat converted to a high-tech science lab are gone without a trace. Then two teenaged sailors are attacked in the night by an unseen boat, and a luxury yacht is torched by an arsonist. Are these crimes tied to the Ocean Raider’s disappearance? Quinn’s answer lies on the bottom of a Gulf Island channel—a Japanese cash-buyer ship, scuttled on the herring grounds nearly 40 years ago. But locating the wreck of the Kochi Maru is no guarantee that Quinn can prevent the murders of the kidnapped crew.
He joins forces with criminal lawyer Walter Mason, a.k.a. ‘The Rapier,’ reuniting an invincible duo famous for solving the West Coast’s most notorious crimes. But in this case the stakes are especially high for Mason—the victims are his own family. Complicating matters are Quinn’s crumbling marriage and the unnerving appearance of Maiah Littlebear, the delectable aboriginal dancer who becomes Quinn’s unintended partner in the search for the missing boat.
It’s deja vu on the Pacific coast. Harley Bowen, the fisherman-turned-immigrant-smuggler, is back with the infamous Japanese fishing magnate, Uriki Kamamoto. And the sleepy Gulf Islanders are blissfully ignorant of the monstrous crimes going down in the ocean around them.
