Forgotten Title

[Eric1156]

I read a book a few years ago, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the title or who wrote it. I do remember the basic plot though and I am hoping someone can help me remember the title. I usually read Brad Thor and Lee Child novels, but I don't believe this is one of theirs.

 

The protagonist is ex-military (Navy, I think), and at the beginning he picks up an attractive female hitchhiker. As he gets to know her he learns that she has escaped from a sex slavery ring. She lives with him on his boat for a while but is eventually killed. He takes it upon himself to get to the bottom of the whole thing by dressing as a homeless person and taking out members of the organization with a modified .22 caliber handgun, that he converted from a larger caliber.

 

He lived on an island and would swim for conditioning around the small island. It ends with a boat chase which I remember being significant because of his experience in either the Navy or Coast Guard.

 

If anyone remembers this novel, please remind me! Thanks!

Oh thanks Dex - Eric's description sounded so familiar to me but I couldn't for the life of me remember which book it was

I'm sure I've seen this on another forum, so wasn't sure if to answer.

Thanks so much Dex, you got it exactly right. I have to read this one again because I remember it being so good.
