Cole Mercer knows water better than he knows how to stay alive.
A former Navy SWCC operator, Cole has lost nearly everything: his career, his marriage, his daughters' trust, and the mentor who died on a mission Cole still can't forgive himself for surviving. When intelligence officer Daniel Voss offers him a way back into the fight, Cole takes it. The assignment is simple on paper: go to Afghanistan, assess a hidden water route, and help stop a trafficking network before more people disappear.
But Kabul is already cracking under the weight of corruption, fear, and a war everyone knows is ending. Safe houses are compromised. Witnesses vanish. Allies lie. And the deeper Cole pushes into the corridor, the clearer it becomes that the mission was never built to save anyone.
It was built to hide what was already moving.
To expose the truth, Cole must trust a team he barely knows, confront the ghosts that followed him from Peru, and decide whether redemption is worth walking back into the current that almost killed him.
Because in Kabul, dead water doesn't mean still water.
It means something is waiting underneath.
