CLOSE-HAULED is a thriller so vivid and action-packed I felt sand between my toes and bruises on my ribs.

Cheri Pray Earlco-author of A Dangerous Day in Georgia

Wes ClarkAuthor of Lost Burbank

CLOSE-HAULED is such a stylish and spine-tingling action tale, I had to keep checking to be sure it hadn't been written by Clive Cussler or Harlan Coben.
