Cruel Earth [EPUB ebook] 

A serious lapse in judgment while on assignment in Panama almost derailed the blossoming career of investigator Noah Dawkins. But then he’s unexpectedly given a second chance to prove himself.

In Panama. A place he has come to regard as his personal hell.

In this land ruled by modern-day pirates, Dawkins must navigate the tricky waters of the truth to solve the case: a suspicious death that turns into two suspicious deaths. He wants nothing more than to go home, but his persistence won’t let him back off until he uncovers the truth.

Or until the truth finds him.
