About this title

Synopsis

"A finely researched, briskly paced, entirely satisfying thriller. As a former naval officer, I can attest to the realism of both the setting and the action. You won't be disappointed."
Steven Konkoly, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Garrett Mann Thrillers

Meet Tom Dugan, a wise-cracking, globe-trotting consultant with issues. Dugan is as patriotic as the next guy, so when terrorists launch a series of devastating attacks threatening the global balance of power and the CIA asks for his help, he can hardly say no. That was his first mistake. There were more.

When he’s set up and falsely accused of terrorism and implicated in the kidnapping of his best friend’s daughter, the CIA offers him a deal, IF he betrays his best friend.

With international terrorism as a backdrop, DEADLY STRAITS is a taut thriller focusing on timeless questions of loyalty and love of family. What will a man do to save his only child? When is the price of loyalty to a friend too high?

DEADLY STRAITS will keep you turning pages late into the night.

AN INTENSE READ FOR FANS OF VINTAGE CLANCY, CUSSLER, FORSYTH, AND LUDLUM.

NOTE: THE TOM DUGAN THRILLERS ARE STANDALONE STORIES. THEY MAY BE READ IN ANY ORDER.

About the Author

Seaman, entrepreneur, former expatriate, and inveterate story-teller, R.E. (Bob) McDermott capped a long and varied career of international work and travel by turning to his secret passion, writing. Bob had the good fortune (and sometimes misfortune) of knowing more than a few interesting characters during his career, and bits and pieces of them populate his novels.

McDermott's work is characterized by meticulous research and a gritty, seldom-matched realism. He strives to make his protagonists fallible humans - not superheroes, just ordinary people who screw up, but rise to life's challenges in extraordinary situations.

Bob lives on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee with his patient wife (and chief proofreader) and splits his time between their condo on Old Hickory Lake and a rural retreat in the Tennessee woods with no phone, no email, and no internet. He likes that just fine and his wife is even more enthusiastic about it since they got a working toilet.
