By Unknown Means

Life can change in an instant For good or for bad Running a Customs Service contraband enforcement boat Special Agent Michael Callaway has racked up an enviable amount of drug boat interceptions between the Bahamas and Florida coastlines. Until the night Callaway discovers an inbound boat carrying a large amount of cocaine and finds his career in jeopardy. An unexpected financial windfall allows him to quit his job-rather than be fired, buy an old wooden hulled shrimp boat and cruise Bahamian waters looking to fish and drink beer. For a short time But while cruising in the crystal clear Bahamian waters, Callaway catches sight of a black go fast boat, part of the private Navy of drug lord Anton Drake, patrolling around his private island called Golgotha. Callaway knows that no one can figure out how Drake moves drugs on and off this island. A sea chase and the discovery that the woman he loves is working undercover on the guarded island trying to solve the mystery of Drake's smuggling success, arouses Callaway's protective instincts. Or forever Callaway knows that once in a while you get a second chance, and when you do, you had better not mess it up. He goes rogue and engages the powerful drug lord in a battle on and under the sea. To save the woman he loves, Callaway uses all his instincts and resources to discover the method that leaves every investigative report about how Drake smuggles his drugs ending with the same words, "by unknown means."
