Operation Ocracoke

One island. One mission. Nowhere to hide.

When Naval Intelligence officer Ray Ramage flies his new airplane to North Carolina’s Outer Banks, his girlfriend Whitney thinks they’re finally taking a well-deserved vacation. Sun, sand, cold beer, and a little fishing. What could possibly go wrong?

Plenty.

Ray’s real assignment is simple: blend in with the tourists on Ocracoke Island, identify a Russian fugitive being smuggled into the country, and make one phone call. A tactical team will handle the rest.

No confrontations. No heroics. No complications.

But Ocracoke is a small island, where everybody knows everybody—and strangers attract attention. Especially strangers asking questions about fishing boats.

When Whitney’s enthusiasm for photography captures something she was never supposed to see, Ray’s carefully constructed cover begins to unravel. Suddenly, the people he’s watching are watching him.

With his mission compromised, his girlfriend in danger, and a smuggling operation moving ahead of schedule, Ray must rely on his instincts as a Navy Intelligence officer to stay one step ahead of men who have no intention of being caught.

On Ocracoke Island, there’s only one way out. And the wrong people know where to find Ray.

Operation Ocracoke is a fast-paced Ray Ramage espionage short story filled with coastal intrigue, dry humor, and the kind of trouble that never stays confined to a simple assignment.
