Tide of Shadows (Sea Dog, #1)

An island paradise. A deadly conspiracy. One man and his dog caught in a war they never saw coming.

You can ignore corruption and treachery until it washes up at your feet. What would you do if saving a life put yours—and those you love—in danger?

Military veteran Gus Harper wants nothing more than quiet days and open waters—just him, his boat, and Arty, his decorated ex-special forces war dog. A sun-soaked island paradise. A simple life. That was the plan. But one night, they haul in more than a fish—a half-drowned survivor of human trafficking, terrified and clinging to life.

Gus and Arty are drawn back into a world of duty—one they thought they had left behind—confronting corruption, deception, and ruthless men willing to 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—together, they expose a criminal network stretching from North Africa to Malta’s corridors of power, where those sworn to serve instead profit from corruption and treachery.

With danger mounting, friends falling, and their peaceful lives slipping away, Gus and Arty must summon the courage and use ancient hidden backdrops to face down a powerful enemy and bring justice to the island’s shores.

Think The Bourne Identity meets The Power of the Dog—a reluctant hero is drawn into a brutal war where the line between justice and survival blurs.

A sun-soaked paradise. A deadly conspiracy. A fight for survival.
