A missing comrade. A cryptic note. A conspiracy that will test Art Marvik to the limit.
Meet Art Marvik. A battle-hardened commando with the scars to prove it. He's used to high-stakes operations. But nothing has prepared him for what awaits in the coastal town of Ballycotton, Ireland . . .
Marvik receives a disturbing call from the Garda. His friend and former comrade, Shaun Strathen, is missing. His yacht's been found drifting in Ballyandreen Bay. But there's no sign of Strathen.
A cryptic note is discovered onboard: Art, sorry it's come to this. Look after things for me. Per Mare, Per Terram.
Marvik wastes no time. He heads straight for Ireland, determined to find his friend. His search leads him to a cottage by the sea. A decomposing body is discovered inside.
It's not Strathen.
If the body isn't his comrade's, then who is it? And where the hell is Strathen?
As Marvik digs deeper, the truth begins to unravel, but so do the dangers.
Can Marvik survive this lethal storm long enough to expose a network of criminal masterminds, and save his friend?
Perfect for fans of J.D. Kirk, J.D. Robb, Matt Brolly, Joy Ellis, and Adam Lyndon, Lethal Storm is a pulse-pounding mystery that will leave you breathless.
