Art Marvik is on the trail of the conspiracy behind his parents deaths in mystery thriller DEAD SEA

When Marvik visits his safe deposit box in his London bank he discovers that a three-and-a-half inch floppy disk he placed there a few weeks previously has been stolen.

What’s more it has been taken only the day before his arrival by a man Marvik has never heard of.

Puzzled and disturbed, Marvik is left cursing his reluctance to ask his former Royal Marine colleague, intelligence and cyber expert, Shaun Strathen, to open the disk and reveal its contents when he first discovered it in the possession of murdered marine archaeologist, Sarah Redburn.

Now its theft indicates that Sarah was killed because of its highly toxic contents.

Convinced it holds the key to the truth behind the deaths of his parents, Marvik, with Strathen’s aid, sets out to track down the thief.

As they follow a trail of abduction and murder it soon becomes clear that the computer disk holds the key to a secret that a ruthless killer is determined must never be revealed.

Each Marvik mystery thriller (4 in the series) is a new story with undercover agent Art Marvik working for the UK Police National Intelligence Marine Squad, helping to solve marine related crimes that have their roots on the past.

Marvik’s boss, Detective Chief Superintendent Crowder, supplies Marvik with the barest details needed on each investigation because Marvik’s task in each mystery thriller: SILENT RUNNING (1); DANGEROUS CARGO (2) LOST VOYAGE (3) is to go into the case cold, ask questions, stir up feelings, prompt danger and risk his life in order to expose the killers. It's what Marvik is good at, facing threats, he’s done it time and again while on missions for the Royal Marines as a Special Boat Services officer.
