Description

Jack Ralston and his seasoned partner Gabe Perkiser are the Secret Service’s go‑to “sky detectives,” and a new assignment has them skimming the Gulf Coast from the Ten Thousand Islands up to Pensacola. Tasked with dismantling a sprawling smuggling ring that ferries diamonds, alcohol, and even unwanted immigrants, the pair must rely on wits, daring, and a rugged amphibious aircraft that can hop from water to land at a moment’s notice.

Their mission drifts through mangrove‑filled bays and isolated inlets, where night‑time runs by speedboats and low‑altitude planes keep the contraband flowing. With a blend of hard‑boiled investigation and high‑octane aerial chases, Jack and Gabe navigate treacherous weather, secret contacts, and the ever‑present danger of being out‑flown by the smugglers. Listeners will be swept into a world of roaring engines, swamps that hide more than alligators, and a partnership that thrives on the thrill of the hunt.
