The Beachcomber, a new book by Bill D. Rose, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The Mahans are a close-knit, yet dysfunctional, family. Uncle Bud Mahan owns and operates the Swordfish Marina at the very tip of Texas on South Padre Island. He is the eldest brother and is obsessed with high-stakes gambling. Eddie Mahan, his brother, is what some people call an adrenaline junkie. The truth is that he will do almost anything for the rush of adrenaline, and he has the scars to prove it. Marge Mahan is Bud's wife and the stabilizing rock for the whole family.

When Eddie's son Jack moves in to his father's beach house, he is recruited by the US Coast Guard to help stop the narcotics drug trade coming in from the Gulf of Mexico. Almost immediately, the entire Mahan family find themselves in a war against a dangerous Colombian drug cartel.
