Potluck Synopsis
by Jack Rudloe
Preston Barfield was an upstanding small-family commercial shrimper whose vanishing way of life pressures him into accepting an offer he can’t refuse.
When Preston gets a panicked call from his brother-in-law Lupino that his boat is on fire, he turns his shrimp trawler offshore to the rescue, only to find Lupino’s burning boat filled with smugglers and marijuana. Hard times and desperation force his hand into adventures that he never imagined.
The “Forgotten Coast” is forgotten no longer in this riveting novel of plain folks on the edge. A major inside story of this culturally rich area is finally told.
