Overview

Out of the Sea is a taut, salt-sprayed adventure packed with peril, passion, and high-stakes smuggling on the edge of the post-WWII Mediterranean. Tough, restless skipper David Hart runs contraband up and down the Spanish coast, threading his battered ex-PT boat through storms, patrol ships, and double-dealing partners. All he wants is one last run-enough money to buy into a legitimate shipping business and leave the danger behind. But the sea has other plans. When a payoff goes wrong, Hart is caught between Franco's navy, a ruthless criminal syndicate, and Juanita Gonzales, the fiery young woman determined to avenge her father's death. From Tangier's shadowy bars to the deadly reefs off Mallorca, Hart races to stay alive, finish the job, and decide whether he's escaping the life he chose-or admitting he belongs to it. ""This is a terrific one, with lots of fascinating details of post-war Mediterranean smuggling.""
