The BRAND NEW Art Marvik mystery thriller (5) LETHAL STORM is now available on Amazon Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and in paperback, published by Joffe Books (20 November 2025).

"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 is number five in the series, which sees Marvik in Ireland and Devon on the trail of a killer..

Art Marvik is a battle-hardened former Royal Marine Commando, Special Boat Services Operative, 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?

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did researching and writing it.
