Harry Maddux, a former U.S. Army paratrooper during the Korean War, has retired from a successful career in the commercial real estate development business. At age sixty five he looks forward to enjoying his recreational pursuits; snow skiing in the high sierras and deep sea fishing off his wonderful sport-fisher LAZY BONES. While trying to help his old army friend, Gilbert Rios, who saved his life in Korea high on hill 602, Harry is thrust into the dangerous and deadly world of Korean gangs and the perils of borrowing street money. This sometimes violent story is painted over a back-drop of vivid, realistic game fishing experiences that put the reader on board Harrys reverie, his beautiful fifty foot sport-fisher. A portion of the story takes place in Mammoth Lakes California but the violent intrigue occurs in San Diego. As the situation spins out of control, Harry pairs with Gilberts brother-in-law, Scott Barlow, recently from Special Forces and the victim of the loan sharking operation. The story twists and turns as the two men are forced to use their combat skills and weapons from Scotts Special Forces arsenal.
