All-American God — Paul S. Kesner

Paul is a man whose fondness for life on the edge turns his midlife crisis into a nuclear meltdown. Happy to leave his life behind in America, Paul boards a freighter bound for Panama with a backpack and a few thousand dollars, ready to conquer a new wilderness.

With a boat, balls, and his newfound brothers, Paul-now calling himself Puma-leads a small but tight-knit group on a meteoric rise as a new criminal empire. With nothing left to lose, Puma operates with fearless abandon, further cementing his relationship as a member of Panamanian organized crime. While running guns and cocaine from the United States to Colombia and back to Panama, Puma transforms into a modern-day smuggler who soon becomes a blip on the CIA's radar screen. But Puma's path is about to take a new direction when, propelled by his desire to make a friend's dream come true, he steps in to make the biggest deal of his life.

In this gripping thriller, a smuggler who gives himself freely to the winds of destiny's path and through God's mysterious ways finds his larger purpose-a seeker of justice for the defenseless, the forgotten, and the unavenged.
