Suwannee Wild

'Suwannee Wild' is the second book in the Charlie Palmer series. It follows 'Miranda's Gold,' chronicling a young Charlie Palmer growing up during the turbulent 1960s. The boy has dreams of following his favorite Great Uncle Joe into a career as a wildlife officer in the State of Florida. The old game warden captivates his young nephew with tales of lost Spanish Gold and a series of murders along the Santa Fe River near Gainesville. Charlie meets and falls in love with a young Spanish girl named Miranda when she transfers to his high school during his senior year. She soon becomes involved in Charlie's search for the Spanish gold. Or did she know about it all along? Their adventures continue when Charlie is drafted into the Army and immediately sent to Vietnam. While Charlie barely survives his combat experience in the war, Miranda enrolls at the University of Florida to begin her pre-med studies. Following his discharge from the army, Charlie enrolls in the University to start his educational preparation for a career as a wildlife officer. As this book begins, Miranda opens her medical practice in Gainesville. Charlie starts his dream job as a Federal Wildlife Officer patrolling the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, where he and his partner soon become involved with much more than wildlife conservation. Drug runners begin to shift the importation of Cocaine north from Miami and directly into some of the last wilderness areas remaining in the Sunshine State. Murder, mayhem, and flashbacks of the jungle warfare Charlie thought he had left in Vietnam return to haunt his dreams and torment his nights. Is his sanity in danger? Who is his wife, really? Can his marriage endure? All will be tested in 'Suwannee Wild.'
