Meet Art Marvik. A battle-hardened commando with the scars to prove it. Now working undercover for the Police National Intelligence Marine Squad, he’s used to high-stakes operations. But nothing has prepared him for what awaits in the coastal town of Ballycotton, Ireland . . .

Marvik receives a disturbing call from the Garda. His friend and former comrade, Shaun Strathen, is missing. His yacht’s been found drifting in Ballyandreen Bay. But there’s no sign of Strathen.

A cryptic note is discovered onboard: Art, sorry it’s come to this. Look after things for me. Per Mare, Per Terram.

Marvik wastes no time. He heads straight for Ireland, determined to find his friend. His search leads him to a cottage by the sea. A decomposing body is discovered inside.

It’s not Strathen.

If the body isn’t his comrade’s, then who is it? And where the hell is Strathen?

As Marvik digs deeper, the truth begins to unravel, but so do the dangers.

Can Marvik survive this lethal storm long enough to expose a network of criminal masterminds, and save his friend?

Published on Amazon Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and in paperback.

"Fabulous story, ticked all the boxes for me: a 5+ star rating. Highly recommended reading!" S. Vdplaats

"This is the first book of the “Marvik” series that I’ve read, and it certainly won’t be the last. Pauline’s imagination and the stories she tells are gripping, I just couldn’t put it down. " C. Gourlay

"A difficult to put down, fast paced thriller full of twists and turns, that will have you riveted until the very last page." S. Winsor

"This fast moving highly relevant thriller is truly unputdownable." Jan 

"What I loved most is the emotional undertow: this isn’t just a hunt for the truth, it’s a reckoning. Marvik pushes through grief, grit, and gut instinct, and the novel never loses its pulse or focus for a second. Rowson’s pacing is a masterclass—brisk, brutal, and beautifully controlled."
