The Winds on Darby Island Jan W Brown

It is 1942. A young moonshiner, from the North Georgia Mountains, where he has conducted his own war against Revenuers and rival moonshine operations, is drafted into the Marines during World War II. LC Tudor finds himself stationed in the Bahamas, among palm trees, tropical sun and intrigue. LC unwittingly falls in with a disgruntled OSS spy, who has now taken the new identity of Nolan Barley. Nolan is fresh from an assignment in Casablanca, where he barely escaped from ruthless Nazis after aiding in the rescue of a Czech Freedom Fighter and his wife, who was also the love of his life. Nolan has been sent to Nassau in the Bahamas by the OSS. His assignment is to locate and destroy a German U Boat supply depot secreted somewhere in the Islands. The depot is a key component for the U Boats in the Atlantic waging Germany's war against Allied shipping. Their attacks are strangling off the Allies much-needed supplies for the war effort in Europe. The OSS mission is clear. The depot must be located and destroyed at all cost. Together, Nolan and LC weave through a labyrinth of Bahamian thugs, a curious local police inspector, spies from British MI 6, and a ruthless band of Nazis' determined to keep their U Boat depot in operation.
