Gale Force by Owen Laukkanen

This was a very interesting look a how sea-going salvage tugs operate. It was also a study in interpersonal relationships and how they can be impacted by the lure of riches.

Gale Force, book title, ship name, and company name wer all  Makenzie Rhodes love.  She grew up on the ship and after her father’s untimely demise she became Captain.   Her insecurities prevented her from following in her father’s footsteps until an opportunity arose that forced her to face them.

A large cargo ship needed to be salvaged and perhaps saved before it caused an ecological disaster.  Adding to the plot is the theft of millions of bearer bonds from the Japanese Yakuza and a botched romance between principal characters.

This was a well-done and intricate plot.  I particularly liked the way the author neatly wrapped everything up.   I like when that is done.
