Synopsis

A deadly web of deceit and intrigue lies hidden behind the collapse of Operation CleanSweep. It’s time for revenge. Matt Tremain’s back in the sequel, facing an even deadlier threat. The investigative blogger is the primary target of revenge. Instrumental in exposing the evil and moral corruption behind Operation CleanSweep — a diabolical plan created by billionaire Charles Claussen — Tremain now faces the man’s craving for vengeance. His plan collapsing and faced with arrest, Claussen staged his suicide, eluding capture. Consumed with rage, Claussen intends to settle the score personally, luring Matt into a deadly trap. Claussen, on the run for three years, is close to exhausting his resources. A shadowy group of four, the Brotherhood, secretly financed a major part of Operation CleanSweep. They want the reason his plan to rid Toronto of undesirables collapsed. Instead, Carling is in hiding. Angry, the Brotherhood calls in their IOU, sending a team of operatives to capture him. Can he pull off a second escape, this time from the Brotherhood? If they catch him, he knows their retribution will not be pretty. There’s a saying, “when you embark on a journey of revenge, first dig two graves. Claussen ignores that advice and doubles down on revenge, risking it all to target Matt and his friends. For Claussen, a clock is ticking a deadly chime as the final confrontation nears, perhaps one of those graves is waiting?

Swimmin' with gators

The setting is a tributary of the Apalachicola river, near Wewahitchka, Wewa to the locals. I spent several winters exploring the area around Wewa, Port St. Joe, and Apalachicola (Apalach, locally). I can personally vouch for some very large gator sightings. I've known Matt Tremain for almost ten years now. He's not so much brave, as stubborn. He's not a guy to back down. He doesn't take up Sid's invitation to swim with the gators. He won't back down when the time comes, however.

The CleanSweep Counterstrike

He turned and saw ripples spreading out in circles. Something reappeared, Matt realized it was an alligator, a large alligator. “Hey, guys,” he shouted. He saw head at first. Then the spinney ridges on the back came into view. With a loud tail slap, the alligator vanished.

"Carling, Sid" Matt yelled and pointed.

"That's a big one," Sid shouted. "She must run close to eighteen feet. Who wants to go swimming?"
