Rebound

Jack Douglas has been reconstructing his life after losing his fiancée and his home (a fifty-two-foot sail boat), to assassins employed by a Mexican drug cartel. His flight from California brought him to Lubec, in Downeast Maine, as far from California as the roads allowed, and as far from the southern California lifestyle as was possible within the continental Unites States. His cabin, on a remote spit of land jutting into the Bay of Fundy, was constructed to isolate him from the horrors of the previous two years. He has built a mini-fortress in the pristine woods. Jack battles the elements, the culture and his depression over his recent losses. A year of decompressing has permitted Jack to risk entering into the routine of the small Maine town's activities. His first foray into community activity introduces him to Andie Hackman, a summer resident, an artist, and a beautiful woman, who stirs long dormant feelings in him. Soon Jack's past catches up with him. He has been recognized and word of his whereabouts has traveled back to members of the cartel. His life is now in danger as is anyone's life close to him. His relationship with Andie is threatened. He needs all his experience and knowledge to survive the next few weeks.
