  Charlie Noble, former-Coast-Guard-officer-turned-marine-PI, is back. This time, he is hot on the trail of a human trafficking scheme that begins in Mexico...and ends in murder.

Still reeling from the untimely death of his wife, Charlie begins to warm to the idea of a second chance at true love with new girlfriend, Kate Sullivan. But these plans are quickly docked when yachting friends Marvin and Angela Baynes come to him with a horrifying discovery—the body of an unidentified young woman impaled on the flukes of their boat anchor. The Bayneses themselves lost a child years ago. No stranger to loss, Charlie finds it impossible not to help them—even though it could mean putting his romance in jeopardy.

Having enlisted a new friend, a Native-American salvager named Raven, Charlie dives Puget Sound to seek out any clues that can help identify the dead girl. He and Raven find more bodies—all young, all female, all Hispanic. Soon Charlie finds himself navigating a course that leads him through the choppy waters of human cargo being freighted in his home waters, and right into the seedy world of he Northwest's sex trade.
