The Boss of Hampton Beach
by Jed Power
Cocaine. It’s already cost Dan Marlowe his family and his business. Now Dan’s doing his damnedest to stay away from the stuff, but when a boat with two dead bodies is found wrecked on the jetty at Hampton Beach, he’s forced into the search for its missing cargo: 200 pounds of cocaine. Will the drug that stole everything short of Dan’s life be the one thing that can give it all back?Cocaine. Dan Marlowe is doing his damnedest to stay away from the stuff. It’s already cost him his family and his business, The High Tide Restaurant & Saloon. Now a bartender at the Tide, Dan’s life is slowly stabilizing. That is until a boat with two dead bodies on board is found wrecked on the jetty at Hampton Beach. The hunt for its missing cargo, 200 pounds of cocaine, is on. Dan is forced into the search and realizes that the drug that stole everything short of his life might be the one thing that can give it all back.He’s not the only one seeking the fortune in white powder. Others, on both sides of the law, are after it too, including a Boston mob boss and his right-hand man; a New Hampshire seacoast drug dealer/informer, his smokin’ hot girlfriend, and his dim-witted muscle; a crooked D.E.A. agent and his junkie sidekick; two New Hampshire State policemen; and an Irish handyman. It’s a violent, back-stabbing race to the end of the rainbow. May the best man win.
