Wave Man
The North Fork of Long Island is a place where truck farms, high-
priced housing developments, migrant workers, shell strewen
beaches and wineries exist in uneasy proximity. It’s a place where
a complex mix of humanity feverishly pursues competing dreams,
certain that only a few will survive. Hector “Oso” Moreno is an ex
Army Ranger haunted by his experiences in Somalia. A student of
the mysterious Daito Ryu fighting system, he’s a man who knows
how to break things and shoot people. Working as an enforcer on
the wrong side of the law, Moreno is a leg breaker beginning to
feel the pangs of conscience. He’s looking for a home, but
operating on society’s fringes. He’s a man adrift, looking for a
place to belong but wary of making the commitment needed to do
so.
When his boss, the elegantly sinister Mr. Savarese, sends
Moreno to be his resident eyes and ears at a new resort on Long
Island’s North Fork, it is for two reasons: Moreno does what he’s
told and is capable of great violence when it’s needed. Both
capacities will be tested in ways neither man can anticipate.
With his arrival in the seemingly placid resort town of Port
Robertson, Moreno begins to believe that he’s leaving his old life
behind and that there might be a place for him in the small resort
community. But he has choices to make: between B.J. Sullivan,
the brash and ambitious new manager of the Port Robertson Inn
and Hana Ishikawa, the sensual adept of the Daito Ryu system of
hand to hand combat. And when he steps in to investigate the
murder of a local lawyer who had stumbled on a complex real
estate swindle, Moreno comes to realize that he has more choices
to make. Everything is not as it appears in Port Robertson and he
will be forced to choose between doing the right thing and the
easy thing. And no matter his choice, his every action will have
deadly consequences.
