Dismal Key

by Mitch Doxsee

Overview

A suspenseful thriller centered on Human Trafficking – More common and closer to home than people wish to believe. Sixteen-year-old McKlusky Harvey's parents ship him off to Florida every summer to work on those "behavioral issues" of his. He's actually enjoying himself on his grandfather's fishing boat, until his new girlfriend goes missing. It turns out she was taken by a trio of human traffickers. Other girls are also missing. The traffickers have disappeared into the Ten Thousand Islands and are planning to ship the girls to Cuba for auction.

McKlusky and ex-CIA agent, Becker, are both trying to find the girls. McKlusky understands two things: 1) The smugglers know the islands a hell of a lot better than any cop, and 2) a flurry of boats and choppers suddenly appearing in the area will just get the girls killed. Enlisting his drug-running cousin to help him, McKlusky takes off after the bad guys with nothing more than a knife and an optimism that far outbalances any good sense. Becker has hired McKlusky's grandfather to boat him through, and that puts even more family at risk when the traffickers spring a deadly trap not even the seasoned pro sees coming.

Descended from a long line of clammers, fishermen, and even a pirate or two, Mitch spent his childhood days hanging around the docks and on his grandfather’s charter boat.

During his days in college, Mitch worked with Youth at a Mission in Amsterdam, Holland where he witnessed the horrors of human trafficking first hand.
Mitch holds a B.A. in Secondary English Education from Lee University and a M.Ed. in Secondary English Education from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Now settled in Chattanooga, TN with his wife and son, Mitch and his family make many trips during the year to his native state of Florida to fish and hunt.
