Publisher Description

Jack-of-all-trades Virgil Cain gets tangled up in an old crime surfacing from the waters of the Hudson River.

For Virgil Cain, a day of fishing on the Hudson River yields more than he bargained for when, while pulling up anchor, he hooks on to a mysterious steel cylinder. As word of Virgil's strange catch spreads around the local marina, it draws the attention of a crooked city cop, who seizes both the cylinder and Virgil's boat.

Soon, an old drug deal gone sour resurfaces, and to get to the bottom of it—and to get his boat back—Virgil teams up with a captivating single mom, Dusty, who knows far too much about the cylinder and the pure cocaine it contains. The landscape is soon cluttered with the dealer who claims ownership of the cylinder, his murderous sidekick, and a wild card in the form of a crazy Russian cowboy. Virgil and Dusty find themselves trapped in the middle and desperate for a way out...

I usually focus on blue collar stories, often set in rural locations. I also tend to gravitate to underdogs. There's something satisfying about creating a character who wins against all odds.
