Man Overboard!

By Sylvan Litz

A pleasure cruise turns into a nightmare when an obnoxious ex-cop throws Jack Knight into the sea during a drunken rage. It isn't until the next day that the ship's officers realize that there is a MAN OVERBOARD! Legal complexities of a crime on the high seas make the search and later events all the more frustrating for Jack's wife and his brother. This all evolves into a courtroom drama and then a shocking finish.
