Offshore Threat




by Nancy A. Lindley-Gauthier

Happy, an odd child, often misunderstood, in love with the sea.

Ollie, standing at the moment where one life must end and another begin.

Corwin, a Coast Guard Commander, charged with homeland security, whose biggest problem isn’t foreign terrorists but among his own ranks.

When the body of a young girl bound in chains is discovered stuffed in a culvert, the “chain” of events entangles the lives of these three.

This is old fashioned suspense at its very best.

Whether well researched or personal experience, the author brings a strong sense of reality to this complex tale. The work of the Coast Guard, which deals with national security, checking incoming shipping, and protecting the safety of boaters makes an interesting background. But it was the richness of details, such as the thrill of sailing through a raging storm, the smell of the sea, the waves brushing against the sand, and a child’s joy of simple things like a gull on the wing, that makes this book special.
