Set in the remote and foggy outpost of Argentia, Newfoundland, 'Shadow Sentinel' follows Sergeant Jack Turner, a Canadian Forces Logistics Sergeant stationed at a U.S. naval base during the height of Cold War tensions. Jack's routine military life is shattered when he is recruited by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to serve as a covert operative. Tasked with monitoring and countering espionage activities around the base, Jack must adapt quickly to the shadowy world of intelligence gathering, deception, and surveillance. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a web of international espionage
involving Soviet spies, double agents, and political intrigue that threatens not only Canadian but also North American security. Throughout the novel, Jack grapples with divided loyalties — between his Canadian identity and the demands of cooperating closely with American counterparts. His transformation from a disciplined logistician to a skilled intelligence agent unfolds amid tense encounters, cryptic communications, and high-stakes missions.

The novel closes on a poignant note, with Jack silently watching the Atlantic fog roll in, symbolizing the ever-present uncertainty and hidden dangers of the intelligence world.
