Tidal Trap

Tidal Trap finds Jefferson Parker quickly embroiled in an international chase of global proportions. When invited to visit his old friend at a Naval station in Maine, Parker is recruited to undertake a covert mission. At first he refuses, but after an attack on the station and the disappearance of his friend, Parker accepts this dangerous assignment.

From the coast of Maine across the North Atlantic, from Iceland to Spain, Parker and his schooner crew are drawn ever deeper into intrigue and betrayal. At stake, the security of America’s submarine force and the lives of countless people. Behind the obvious conflict arises a secret past for both Parker and Taylor Stephenson, a seemingly innocent bystander and new love interest. But nothing is as clear as it seems. Don’t discount Parker’s second mate, Carla Gianni, who has a few secrets of her own to hide as well.

Join Parker and his allies, as they struggle to find solutions to a rogue submarine, hidden agendas that reside in the Navy Department and the White House, and environmental issues revolving around dolphins used as weapons. Through it all, Parker must come to terms with a past mission gone astray, a crew to lead and protect, and a choice between two women he professes to love.

Be prepared for suspenseful and twisting plots, complex characters you care for and edge-of-your-seat action. Tidal Trap will take you on a journey into nuclear submarines, across storm-swept oceans in a fast sailing ship, and behind closed doors with top-secret political maneuvering.
