Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
After years of relative calm, the threat from Somali pirates has increased exponentially. When a couple of American ships get taken, U.S. authorities become determined to find the source of this new danger.
Jake Keller has a plan. It is unconventional, but that is par for the course with Jake. He hopes to lure the mastermind behind these crimes out of hiding by posing as a rival. It is a dangerous plan, made more so by Jake's personal involvement with the beautiful heiress to a Greek shipping fortune. If he is not careful, Jake is as likely to end up as a corpse as he is to uncover his nemesis.
"After years of relative calm, piracy has returned to the high sea. But the days of AK-47s and outboard engines are over. The new pirates hit like a SEAL team. Highly trained and using cutting-edge technology, they make sure their victims are never heard from again. Ships and crews are vanishing at a staggering rate. As the threat to international shipping grows, United States authorities become determined to find the source of this new danger. CIA officer Jake Keller has a plan--to lure the pirate mastermind out of hiding by infiltrating his organization--but it is a dangerous gambit, made more so by Jake's personal involvement with the beautiful heiress to a Greek shipping fortune and an ulterior agenda coming out of CIA headquarters. As the threats close in from all sides, Jake finds himself faced with a familiar choice: back off, or go on the offensive. His fate and the fate of a nation hang on his decision."-- Provided by publisher.
