The Catalina Cabal

Smuggling. Betrayal. Greed. Murder. Not the type of easy going lifestyle you'd expect to find on the idyllic island of Catalina, off the gold coast of California. While on a leisurely sail around the island, Badger Thompson finds the body of a woman floating in the ocean. Stuffed in her life jacket is a large wad of cash, a fake ID, and the body goes unclaimed. He knows he should just walk away and leave it to the authorities, but it's not in his nature. When he keeps digging at the mystery it sets off a chain reaction that brings him to the center of the storm, and a conspiracy that should have stayed secret.
