Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review “Packed with double crosses, gruesome violence that makes you cringe expecting the worst to happen to the good guys, and hardcore vendetta-fueled carnage, it easily envelops you into the world of heartbreak and action.” - Kashif Hussain, Best Thriller Books “I liked Walker, the main character. He’s believable and makes decisions like a normal person, not like some can’t lose terminator. The scenes are lush and I loved the mix of action and emotion…it flows well, with great pacing. Weill’s built hooks into the story, so it’s easy to read chapter after chapter. Another thing I liked is the research that clearly went into the book. I hate it when writers get into the weeds on stuff they learned, but I also like to learn a little something while I’m reading. This book strikes the right balance there. Looking forward to book 2!” - Nick Stevens, #1 bestselling Amazon author of the Mason Ashford Thriller Series “An action-packed thriller that keeps you guessing right up to the end. Plan your time, because once you start it you won't want to put it down.” - Jeff Kerr, award-winning thriller author

In this third installment of the series, Harbor Police detectives Park and Walker are given separate high-stakes assignments. Park drives up to Los Angeles, where he joins forces with the FBI and works undercover on a cruise ship in pursuit of an unidentified serial killer. As he and his team peel back the layers of a far-reaching conspiracy, the term “rough seas” takes on a much deeper meaning. Back in San Diego, Walker becomes a member of MARTAC, the Harbor Police’s SWAT team, and he tackles a case of his own involving political assassination, white supremacy, and narcotics trafficking, with powerful enemies both old and new. Alternating chapters spotlight these two heroes until their stories converge in an appalling turn of events. Are Park and Walker the real double threat, or will the twin forces of evil they’re up against prove insurmountable? There’s only one way to find out!
