9780983741701: Deadly Straits

Synopsis

"A finely researched, briskly paced, entirely satisfying thriller. As a former naval officer, I can attest to the realism of both the setting and the action. You won't be disappointed."
Steven Konkoly, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Garrett Mann Thrillers

Meet Tom Dugan, a wise-cracking, globe-trotting consultant with issues. Dugan is as patriotic as the next guy, so when terrorists launch a series of devastating attacks threatening the global balance of power and the CIA asks for his help, he can hardly say no. That was his first mistake. There were more.

When he’s set up and falsely accused of terrorism and implicated in the kidnapping of his best friend’s daughter, the CIA offers him a deal, IF he betrays his best friend.

With international terrorism as a backdrop, DEADLY STRAITS is a taut thriller focusing on timeless questions of loyalty and love of family. What will a man do to save his only child? When is the price of loyalty to a friend too high?

DEADLY STRAITS will keep you turning pages late into the night.

AN INTENSE READ FOR FANS OF VINTAGE CLANCY, CUSSLER, FORSYTH, AND LUDLUM.

NOTE: THE TOM DUGAN THRILLERS ARE STANDALONE STORIES. THEY MAY BE READ IN ANY ORDER.
