Based on a true story, this fascinating book presents dual and alternating story lines that share the lives of those in charge at the county jail: the correction officers who endure the swing shifts, confinement, and the risk of exposing themselves to a dangerous population of criminals, mentally deranged characters, and notorious inmates who are locked up and angry with the world.

Our Phantom Voyage explores the characters with a personalized look at their friendships and working relationships. A much-needed vacation that was planned for four of them results in a disastrous experience that will keep you turning pages until the very end.

This book has universal appeal to those who love adventure, romance, and good versus evil scenarios. The story has been greatly embellished and not all scenarios included are true. The names have been changed to protect the guilty.
