World-class wrestler Jacob Charles has more on his mind than the Olympics. As a member of the CIA's Athletes Courier Corp., a covert project that takes advantage of elite athletes' unique ability to cross borders into hostile territory without scrutiny, Jacob often moves among people even more dangerous than his wrestling opponents--and he has a personal score to settle with one of the deadliest men in the world. But at the center of his universe is his wife, Charlotte, an independent, freewheeling boat captain who sails the pirate infested-waters of the African coast--and whose life is about to become even more treacherous than Jacob's. From the Olympic training centers of the United States to the steamy alleys of Castro's Cuba, from the exotic islands of the Indian Ocean to the grand stage of the Olympic Games, author and legendary former wrestler Wade Schalles takes readers on an adventure like no other love story ever, with the explosive and touching Jacob's Cradle.
