This time around, everything becomes very personal as Hooker is dragged into things, but can't drive with a cast on his arm. Mae West has a blown engine, and the Squirt is still in the hospital recovering from "Dime Poisoning".
Then Hooker gets word from his sister that she needs help. She can help him—but he has to pay the price she is asking...
How do you save someone—by killing them?
It is going to take everything Hooker's strange extended family can do to pull it off...
And even then, it may be too late.
Baer Charlton, a best-selling author, is a Social-Anthropologist. His many interests have led him around the world in search of the unique.
As an internationally recognized Photojournalist, he tracked mountain gorillas, been a podium for a Barbary Ape, communicated in sign language with an Orangutan named Boolon, kissed a kangaroo and had many wild experiences in between. Or he was just monkeying around.
His love for sailing has led him to file assignments from various countries, as well as from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean aboard a five-mast sailing ship. Baer has spoken on five continents, plus lecturing at sea.
Within every person, there is a story. But inside that story, even a more memorable story. Those are the stories he likes to tell.
There is no more complex and wonderful story than those coming from the human experience. Whether it is a Marine finding his way home as a civilian or a girl who is just trying to grow up, Mr. Charlton’s stories are all driven by the characters you come to think of as friends.
