Publisher Description
Take one sea-loving captain, a drug-smuggling first mate, and a novice deckhand with a secret, and you have the motley crew of the Wahoo Rhapsody, a ramshackle fishing charter plying the Pacific’s waters off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. Captain Winston Weber makes an honest, if lean, living running fishing charters between Mexico and California, with no inkling of the fact that his first mate, Weevil Ott, is smuggling marijuana inside the yellowfin tuna stacked in the boat’s hold. But when Weevil decides to skim a small fortune for himself, goons under orders from the mysterious drug lord known only as “La Cucaracha” descend upon the Wahoo Rhapsody. What ensues is a madcap romp that will catapult readers from Cabo San Lucas to Tucson and San Diego, as Winston, Weevil, and an expat American lawyer by the name of Atticus Fish try to outrun La Cucaracha’s bloody reach. Fans of Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard will relish this rollicking satirical adventure from award-winning writer Shaun Morey.

"I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Morey's novel. A bit of Tim Dorsey, well a lot actually, mixed with Randy Wayne White and James Hall. I loved the quirky characters and the plot was well done. I look forward to the next novel, hopefully with Atticus Fish again!"
— Vicky (5 out of 5 stars)

“If you’re a fan of the outrageous set in tropical climes, Wahoo Rhapsody is right in your wheelhouse…[It] will have you laughing until you weep.
— Jim Shepherd, Publisher of The Outdoor Wires -
What a fun read! I found myself unable to put the book down once I picked it up finishing…Morey wows the reader (and) keeps us guessing until the end throwing in a final twist the reader won’t expect.

" I do not personally know the author, but this is what I imagine happens when stoners write books. I wish I could give it negative stars for wasting my time and money and I will just leave it at that. Read at your own risk! "
