Ghost Ship
Book 12 of the NUMA Files series
Kurt Austin is injured while attempting to rescue people from a sinking yacht and awakens with contradictory memories of whether anyone was aboard. Haunted by the possibility that a former love and her children died there, he distrusts both the official account and his own damaged recollection. Following the uncertain trail draws NUMA into cybercrime, human trafficking, secret computing technology, and disappearances stretching from South Africa to the Korean border. Darker and more personal than many series entries, this thriller suits readers who enjoy unreliable memory, missing-person investigations, maritime disasters, digital conspiracies, and heroes forced to question their judgment while pursuing someone the world insists is dead.
