When the ocean keeps its secrets, some are worth killing for.
Jack Rand, a former Navy SEAL turned salvage diver, thought life after the Teams would be quieter. But when he and his closest friend-and fellow SEAL-Bear are hired to recover a priceless artifact from a sunken yacht off the coast of La Jolla, California, they plunge into a world far more dangerous than the deep.
What begins as a routine dive quickly escalates into a global struggle against terrorism. Backed by a shadowy private security network with direct ties to the White House, Jack is thrust onto a mission spanning the sun-drenched shores of Costa Rica, the cartel strongholds of Mexico, and the violent heart of El Salvador.
At his side is Gina-an enigmatic ex-CIA operative so elusive the Taliban named her The Phantom. Together, they must outwit ruthless cartels, battle MS-13 warlords, and navigate treacherous alliances where one wrong move means death.
As the stakes rise, one question haunts them all: in a war without borders, can a handful of warriors truly change the tide?
La Jolla in Turmoil is a pulse-pounding thriller of courage, loyalty, and survival-where romance flickers in the shadows of violence, and every choice could ignite a firestorm.
