Last Cry of the Whippoorwill

Jersey Wilkes knows Baja Mexico and the Sea of Cortez like the back of his hand.  He also believes his simple, uncomplicated life as captain of his boat, Whippoorwill, will go on forever, and it did until a woman from his past showed up in Los Cruces.  Charmin Gotti on on what could be called a risky mission to locate her husband, and she needs his help. Jersey reluctantly agrees and soon discovers his chances of surviving this mission are slightly greater than surviving Charmin Gotti.
