"There's nonstop action for Canadian
commercial diver Derek Stone from the moment his oil-drilling
platform off the North African coast is attacked by terrorists
and his visiting wife becomes one of their victims. Vowing
vengeance, Stone finds only frustration in his personal investigation
until he makes contact with a former employer in the Canadian
Security Intelligence Service. A late-night rendezvous at
sea almost costs Stone his life, but he begins to pick up
a trail that leads, via many switchbacks, to an international
business-man and underworld figure who manipulates national
intelligence organizations for his own profit. Readers should
enjoy the breathtaking pace of this suspense thriller, as
well as its settings in Italy, Sicily, Malta, and Tunisia.
Highly recommended.
