How did Nick Hunter, a disbarred lawyer and surfer get the job of figuring out the answer? At every turn in his unofficial investigation, Hunter confronts danger and intrigue.<\/p>\n<p>Galveston, Texas and Belize serve as the tropical backgrounds for a story transected by the crimes of human trafficking, murder and deceit.
