The beautiful Bella Coola Valley in British Columbia provides a dramatic backdrop in a story of two men who crossed paths years before, who meet again by chance. Taking his family on a bucket list vacation, a former smuggler confronts the former policeman who had arrested and tortured him many years before.

Enjoy this exclusive excerpt:
…he heard the sound of a lock being opened, and someone approached through an opening door. He still couldn’t see much in the gloom, then suddenly all was white light. He hissed as the sudden brightness seared his eyes.
“Wolfgang Schnable,” said a voice he didn’t recognize.
“No one has called me that for a long time,” he replied, trying to keep his voice steady and trying to sound as calm as he was beginning to feel again.
“Yes, Wolfie, we know all about you. We’ve been watching you for some time.”
He let that go without a response. It had to be simple truth, and it told him quite a bit about who his adversary was. He tried a gambit.
“You’re not with a rival gang or I’d already be dead. You’re not with the Federal Police or I’d be in a different space, and my lawyer would be chewing out the ass of the arresting officer and his supervisor, following which I would get an apology from the local chief and a discount on my normal bribe rate. So that tells me there’s something bigger happening. Let me out of this ridiculous place and get me some dry clothing, a bottle of Reisling, and a cigarette. We should be comfortable when we start our negotiations.”
“Not so fast, I’m afraid, Wolfie old pal. We have enough on you to put you in a very uncomfortable place for a very long time. I don’t give a damn about you, and I’d be just as happy handing this thick file over to the local Bundesgrenzschutz. They would salivate at the prospect of getting you put away. And don’t think even your expensive lawyer and your extensive bribes would save your ass.”
