About the author

Ken Pratt worked to make a living, but his passion has always been writing. Having a busy family, the only "free" time he had to write was late at night getting no more than five hours of sleep a night. He has penned several novels that are being published along with several children stories as well. Ken Pratt says, "If you want something bad enough, you'll sacrifice something else to get it. I sacrifice sleep. I do not write to be a best seller or for wealth, I write to bring hope into the lives of the hopeless and encourage the disheartened through the lives of the characters and God's providence in my stories. There is always 'Hope' and that is the purpose of my books."

A very intriguing story. When a man's ( Floyd Bannister) grandson and his friend he turns the town upside down looking for them. Floyd's son, a US Marshall, comes with two deputies to help in the search as this is his son missing. The story looks at the crime and corruption in the port city. There is a lot of men being shanghaied and Floyd is worried his grandson might be one of them. This delves into the corruption in Portland and how all the crooked officials protect themselves. It is a good read that keeps your interest throughout the book. I really enjoyed it and do recommend it.
