David moved to Maine over thirty years ago, after college. He has studied martial arts for years and holds a high degree black belt. A veteran of over 20 medical mission trips to the Dominican Republic, he is also a Sunday School teacher, an avid photographer, and an obsessive reader. Having consumed over 5,000 books by his own estimate, David felt it was time to give back and write his own book at last. He and his wife, Peg, have a grown son. Peg read an early draft of his first book and said it sounded like it was written by a Sunday School teacher who read too many detective novels. Truth in advertising.
Daniel Lyons travels to the Caribbean, intent on helping Evangeline with a journalism project. Investigating the life of Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic, they enter a world seldom experienced by tourists. Old friend Inspector Fourcade asks them to help find a lost orphan, Marina. Succeeding in finding her, they discover their involvement is far from over. Heartbreak and tragedy ensue. Facing overwhelming poverty, disease, and hopelessness in the country, they are in a quandary over what to do for Marina. Daniel faces tough decisions and must consider the unthinkable: accepting a lucrative offer from the AIAC to return to the world of professional mixed martial arts for a heavily promoted bout with a hand-picked opponent. Every effort has been made to find someone who can beat Daniel in the ring. Will the 'Argentinian Anaconda' beat Daniel and restore the AIAC's brand? Or, will Daniel prevail and use the fight purse to improve the lives of Marina and other Haitian orphans?
