Facing the Storm (Paperback or Softback)

One ship. One mission. A cargo of death bound for American shores.

Brice Bannon served fifteen years in the Coast Guard, most recently as captain of the Deployable Operations Group (DOG), the Coast Guard's version of the Army's Special Forces and Navy's SEAL operations. When the command was decommissioned, rather than accept reassignment, Bannon retired from the full-time Coast Guard. But Bannon didn't leave the Coast Guard behind completely. He remains in the Reserves.

Recruited by the Secretary of Homeland Security, he leads a small, secretive team of specially trained, highly skilled operatives capable of responding to and investigating specific, targeted threats against the homeland. Threats that cannot be effectively handled by standard operating means. Threats that call for a unique and often secret approach outside the normal channels of either Homeland Security or the Department of Defense.

When not risking his life for the government, Bannon runs the Keel Haul, his bar in the resort town of Hampton Beach, on the New Hampshire seacoast. There, he also operates as a small-town private investigator and tends to get himself in big trouble along with the help of his two best friends and teammates, Tarakesh "Blades" Sardana and CWO Skyjack McMurphy.

Grab Book One of the Brice Bannon Seacoast Adventure Series and plunge into a storm of action, danger, and coastal justice.

David DeLee is the acclaimed author behind the Dark Justice Thrillers, a gripping crime fiction series that brings together the bold worlds of bounty hunter Grace deHaviland, ex-DEA agent Nick Lafferty, and NYPD detectives Frank Flynn and Christine Levy. Anchored by the Grace deHaviland Bounty Hunter books—known for their dynamic protagonist and compelling action—DeLee's work captures the raw intensity of justice on the edge.

David also writes the high-octane Brice Bannon Seacoast Adventure series, a nautical action-thriller saga and his spin-off Parker Quinn Archaeological Thrillers, which blends adventure, history, and intrigue, adding a bold new layer to his ever-evolving storytelling landscape.

A former licensed private investigator and Certified Fraud Examiner with a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice, DeLee draws from real-world experience to craft authentic, edge-of-your-seat narratives that resonate with fans of crime, justice, and pulse-pounding action.

David now resides in New Hampshire, where he enjoys the lakes, the coast, and four very distinct seasons while he continues to write stories that explore the darker corners of justice.
