A BARRY AWARD NOMINEE • “Sensationally good—an instant classic, maybe an instant legend.”—Lee Child
The moment Navy SEAL sniper Finn sets foot on the USS Abraham Lincolnto hitch a ride home from the Persian Gulf, it’s clear something is deeply wrong. Leadership is weak. Morale is low. And when crew members start disappearing one by one, what at first seems like a random string of suicides soon reveals something far more sinister: There’s a serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on Finn, the newcomer to the ship. After all, he’s being sent home in disgrace, recalled from the field under the dark cloud of a mission gone horribly wrong. He’s also a lone wolf, haunted by gaps in his memory and the elusive sense that something he missed may have contributed to civilian deaths on his last assignment. Finding the killer offers a chance at redemption . . . if he can stay alive long enough to prove it isn’t him.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In this claustrophobic cat-and-mouse thriller, there’s literally nowhere to run when a killer stalks victims traveling the high seas. Navy SEAL Finn is headed home aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln when the crew of the aircraft carrier start to disappear. Finn can’t help looking into the mystery, even though his investigation could land him in the brig…or worse. Former SEAL Brandon Webb knows his way around a vessel and packs a wallop of a story with best-selling co-author John David Mann. Their debut is loaded with amusing details about life aboard a floating city. We especially enjoyed the main character, Finn, whose hazy memory and fun personality quirks make for a complex protagonist. Narrator Jonathan McClain makes you feel the tension brought on by cramped corridors and an entire ship full of suspects. All hands on deck for this incredibly taut listen.
