A Mustang Solution — W. Matthew Hart

Two U.S. Marine Corps friends Alan Hast and Alec Berger decide to sail Alan's sailboat to participate in the 1995 New York City July 4th celebrations. A sex slave broker from the former Soviet Bloc has moved his operation to New York City and purchased a small hotel to continue his illegal slave and drug trade. A converted Russian Trawler is now a drug manufacturing lab that sails out of Cuba after being resupplied with the needed raw drug making materials. Staying just beyond the twelve mile territorial limit the ship has been supplying illegal drugs to selected yachts out of Boston, New York, Baltimore and Miami for several years. The leader of this cartel, ‘The Wolverine' is the leader of a 21st Century Sex Slave organization with connections in the former Soviet Bloc. As a result of these types of operations there are more slaves sold today than were sold from Africa in 400 years of the trans-Atlantic slave trade decades earlier. This man is also the son of the Russian submarine captain that ruthlessly sank the hospital ship Wilhelm Gustloff on January 30, 1945 killing over 8,000 innocent men, women and children. The two Marines become involved when two girls are murdered by drowning. Then it becomes known that one of the murdered girls was Alec's long lost sister who was kidnapped twelve years ago during a vacation with their parents in Germany. With the help of a Federal DEA agent they soon discover that more than one corrupt NYC Official has been blocking the arrest of this Russian slave trader and drug dealer. The trail leads to the U.S. State Department Secure Internet that connects with the American Embassies in South America. Time after time this corrupt businessman has literally gotten away with murder and drug related slavery-prostitution. These two Marines, with a little help from the Navy Spec Ops Team the FBI and the DEA, decide to use their own version of the Mustang Solution to stop this tyrant.
