When life took unexpected and tragic turns, which constitute the essence of this book, he was compelled to search for his identity. This agonizing task was made easier in part because of the skills he’d acquired in his second career as a U.S. Customs and Immigration Inspector. He finished his career as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer. Retirement in 2006 gave Kane the peace of mind he needed to finally tell his incredible tale, a story so shocking that it seems born of fiction. Kane lives in San Juan with his wife, Blanca.
