Sea of Deception

By Jeff Ofstedahl

When the man you love is murdered in paradise, how far will you go for justice?

Steven Jeffries thought the Sea of Cortez would be an escape-a sailing adventure with his partner John, far from the noise of their Arizona lives. Instead, it becomes a killing ground when automatic weapons fire shatters their peaceful anchorage, leaving John dead and Steven with questions no one wants to answer.

Following the blood trail leads Steven into a nightmare of international child trafficking, corrupt politicians, Russian oligarchs, and shadow operations spanning three continents. From a remote Mexican island to the halls of Moscow's intelligence apparatus, from luxury yachts hiding unspeakable crimes to the silent operators of Mossad's deadliest teams, a web of complicity reaches further than Steven could have imagined.

The FBI is investigating. The Russians are cutting their losses. The Israelis have their own agenda. And Steven Jeffries is running out of time-and mercy.

In a world where justice is for sale and the innocent are currency, some men choose to become the reckoning. Some lines, once crossed, lead only to darkness.

A searing thriller of revenge, redemption, and the cost of looking evil in the eye.
