One Way Ticket: The Jack Collier Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798268257847)

One Way Ticket is the ninth novel in the Jack Collier Series. Dr Fred Lockwood is Emeritus Professor of Learning and Teaching, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK and a PADI Master Scuba Diver.

It should have been a routine, and profitable, survey of one small boat and an inspection of a much larger ship. A chance for Jack Collier and Sandro Calovarlo, joint owners of the Marine Salvage & Investigation Company, to indulge themselves.

A wealthy Italian businessman is planning to buy, and convert, an Ex-Italian Navy Patrol Boat that is identical to the one they own. It's an opportunity to inspect this old boat, show off their own, sell their unused conversion plans, and combine the trip with an inspection of a ship they may buy.

It's a ruse - the Ex-Italian Navy Patrol Boat doesn't exist, and the potential buyer is not a businessman but part of an Organised Crime Group.

The nightmare begins as Jack and Sandro are caught up in an audacious plan to smuggle hundreds of undocumented migrants to England on board their own boat and the ship they came to inspect.

How many of the undocumented migrants will reach England alive? Will Jack and Sandro, and people they care about, be amongst them?
