This is the second in my Tugboat Man series. This time, Tug is in the race of his life against some very bad...well... not quite people. The title tells the tale. No, it has nothing to do with the Da Vinci code. But it's in the ballpark. The wife is from Atlantis, so there are some unavoidable sci-fi aspects. But this is actually nothing more than pure romantic adventure. I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. D.T.
Eagles Landing, Colorado, harbors a viciously guarded secret: a sophisticated smuggling ring, which takes advantage of the rules protecting the wealthy from searches. Liv Driscol is a waitress whose passion for cars, inherited from her missing covert-operative father, turns deadly when a joyride becomes a race for her life. An accidental murder witness, she is now being hunted.
