Tide of Shadows (Sea Dog Book 1)
About
An island paradise. A deadly conspiracy. One man and his dog caught in a war they never saw coming.
Gus Harper, a military veteran, wants nothing more than quiet days and open waters—just him, his boat, and Arty, his ex-special forces war dog. A simple life. That was the plan.
But when they pull a half-drowned woman from the sea—a survivor of human trafficking—Gus and Arty are thrust back into a world of duty they thought they’d left behind. Beneath the island’s sun-drenched beauty lurks a darker reality: corruption, deception, and ruthless men who will kill to protect their trade.
With an unlikely alliance—a Maltese Cardinal, a vivacious widow, a mysterious Polish handyman, and a former US Navy SEAL—they uncover a criminal network stretching from North Africa to Malta’s highest corridors of power, where those sworn to serve instead profit from treachery.
As danger mounts and their peaceful lives slip away, Gus and Arty must summon the courage—and use ancient island secrets—to take the fight to an enemy that thrives in the shadows.
Justice doesn’t come easy. But on these shores, some battles are worth fighting.
“A masterful blend of action, heart, and unforgettable characters set against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean.”
