The Moonlight Runner J J Ballesteros

Simon Donovan tried to escape his troubled past by buying an old schooner and reinventing himself as a sailing charter skipper in a Mexican backwater. Fate, however had other plans. Both his and his ship's past come back to haunt him in the form of a beautiful minister's wife and a vindictive drug lord called "El Demonio". El Demonio resents losing the last drug war to the Norteño cartel's Colonel Barca and his elite narco-paramilitaries, who are in a neighboring state fi ghting rival traffi ckers. He plans to lure the colonel's rear guard led by the impetuous Cisco Cisneros and his unwashed army of thugs into a trap forcing the colonel into a rematch. All El Demonio needs is to rally the Campeche Gangs, but to do that he needs guns ... and Donovan's ship to bring them in. To achieve his deadly plan, he kidnaps his new love and forces Donovan to make a moonlit run to the most treacherous part of the Texas coast.
