A dead man’s face. A smuggler’s war. A baseball player who can’t stop swinging at trouble.
Peter Cobb is finally ready to reclaim his life. After surviving a covert mission in Algeria and hunting for lost gold in the Caribbean, the former Milwaukee Brewer is headed to Arizona for spring training—his first shot at professional baseball in six years. All he has to do is make a connecting flight in Miami, but he misses it.
A simple detour through Florida’s Everglades turns dangerous when everyone in the small fishing town of Everglades City mistakes Peter for a dead man—a DEA agent killed in a gunfight with local drug smugglers over a year ago.
The deeper Peter digs, the more he uncovers—a community neck-deep in the marijuana trade, corrupt locals with blood on their hands, and a mysterious Seminole woman who knows things about his past she couldn’t possibly know. When another undercover agent’s life hangs in the balance, Peter does what he does best—wades straight into the fight.
But the Everglades isn’t his only battlefield. His mother is dying. The ghosts of Vietnam still haunt him. And with his baseball comeback hanging by a thread, Peter must confront the hardest truth—sometimes the real fight is inside oneself.
Shane Rawley’s March is Madness delivers another pulse-pounding Peter Cobb adventure packed with twists, danger, and heart. This is a story about second chances, the cost of courage, and one man’s relentless pursuit of the life he was meant to live.
