THE HAPPY HAT is a medical thriller, crime drama, and unusual love story in one of the Navy’s largest stateside military hospitals. The story is based on actual events, which the author relives through fictionalized characters. FBI agent Isaac Kaplan is undercover as a Navy hospital corpsman. He follows a patient who is in a total body cast from Vietnam to Queens Naval Hospital in New York City. The plaster cast contains half a million dollars in heroin waiting to be picked up by a Brooklyn biodisposal team of killers. The New York cartel eliminates any internal or external threat to their operations and films their torturous murders to intimidate their constituents. Chief Corpsman FBI Agent Isaac Kaplan agonizes trying to filter out the who, what, where, and whys of the heroin smuggling ring, which endangers several lives and the one Nurse who may be the leader–the one he falls in love with.
