The Zirondelle: The Catamaran Caper

This story, strictly fiction, relates the efforts of Federal and local members of the Drug Enforcement Authority, working as a unit in Louisiana and Florida, to shut down the pipeline of drugs coming into the US from Colombia. The path leads up the Mississippi River and could in time reach as far north as Canada. The main vehicle in the story is a fifty-foot catamaran built in Bay City, Michigan, and the persons are not all that they seem to be at first. The name of the story is a word from the bayou district of Louisiana, given to the insect “dragonfly.”
