Moral Compass
About this eBook
Best selling authors, Thomas Donahue and Criminologist Karen Donahue, bring the seventh in their popular Ryan—Hunter Mystery Thriller series.
A brilliant fireball flashes through the foggy darkness off the California coast. The flames reach skyward as Marin Ryan and John Hunter race toward the tragic accident. The once luxurious sailing yacht still smolders as Marin throws a kayak into the water and paddles over to the remnants in search of possible survivors. The Coast Guard arrives to a bubbling sea from the vessel headed for the bottom.
Homeland Security protocols are implemented, when it’s discovered that the boat belongs to a United States Senator. He’s missing. The FBI locate the Senator, but his wife and a friend have died. Questions remain for the Homeland Security task force. Was the Senator the intended victim? Is he still in danger?
The senator condemns terrorists for this attempt on his life. He knows the strong stance he takes will catapult him into the White House, and nothing will stop him.
While others are chasing down the terrorist angle, John Hunter finds other clues that suggest an alternative explanation. Who is correct?
