In this blisteringly fast debut thriller - James M. Cain meets Elmore Leonard - hijacking a cruise ship is just the first step in one man's sprint to deliverance - or destruction.
Matt "Loose Cannon" Shannon is an ex-FBI agent turned security chief for the world's largest cruise line. It's a career move that owes more to personal weaknesses than to his fondness for the Miami sun. In the novel's explosive opening, Shannon's stepbrother, Jack Fontana, puts his back against the wall. At a waterfront reunion, Fontana gives Shannon what looks like a game controller - and before he knows what's he's done, Shannon has sunken a freighter in Miami's shipping lane, and his fingerprints are on the device that sent the signal. Only once he's cornered does Shannon learns his stepbrother's real plan - a cruise ship heist that could make enough money to last their lifetimes. Fever is the story of Shannon's race to unravel the deadly labyrinth he's trapped in. With the help of a mysterious woman and his own instincts, he might find the one path that could allow him to survive.
