From the official 5* bookclub review - Awarded 'Book of the Day' and a glowing official 5-star review by the American OnlineBookClub.org. Multi-award-winning screenwriter and movie director Stuart St Paul delivers a crime drama set at sea that feels frighteningly real. … The plot of the story was complex and had much depth to it; it presented this giant riddle with many unpredictable facets. The story carried intrigue right from when Commander Kieron Philips was introduced at the airport. His character gave off waves of mystery and intrigue with the peculiar situation in which he found himself… Kieron was the tangy combination of the good cop and the bad cop. He was the guy you wanted in your corner when things got ugly because he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. His character stood out because of his keen eye for foul play, bravery, and kindness. More so, the author gave a lot of insight into Kieron's thoughts and the complicated mental process of solving the mystery that lived on the cruise ship. Another impressive character was Hunter Witowski, the cruise ship's head of security. He had a dry humour that belied his tough exterior. He was one character I didn't expect to like, but he became one of my favourites. It was fun to see the wordplay between the characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When retired Commander Kieron Philips finds a passenger sitting dead in his seat as everyone disembarks the plane, he calls the flight attendant and makes no fuss. He thinks nothing of it. He survived Ireland, Iraq and covert missions but now misses an unexpected bullet when a woman he spent just a few flirty moments with at baggage collection is arrested at customs in South America with millions of dollars. Within minutes he's sharing a taxi to a cruise ship with two other women and his life is about to change forever. Within hours they're at sea, and he's embroiled in a saga of which he has no knowledge. His cabin is searched by a stowaway gunman, who is intercepted and arrested by Senior Officer Hunter Witowski, head of security, who suspects Philips knows that there is more to all this. Philips starts to wonder if his being on this cruise, at this time, was an accident, or whether someone saw his military skills and put him in the right place at the right time. He can't trust anyone on the ship, and no crazy amount of money is worth either his life or the life of his show-dancer daughter whom he travelled this far to visit. Except she is not his daughter and she arranged the trip.
