Diamond Reef: A Chase Gordon Tropical Thriller, Chase Gordon Tropical Thrillers Book 1 By Douglas Pratt

Chase Gordon is living the dream. As a former Marine, he's traded in the rigors of military life for the laid-back lifestyle of island-hopping in his 40-foot sailboat, taking on part-time work as a bartender to fund his adventures. His days are spent under the sun and on the waves, enjoying the freedom that comes with living on his own terms. But Chase's tranquil life takes a sudden turn when the wife of a fellow Marine shows up on his doorstep, desperate and searching for her missing husband.

Without hesitation, Chase steps in to help, but he quickly realizes he's bitten off more than he can chew. What starts as a simple favor rapidly spirals into a dangerous game of cat and mouse involving one of South Florida's most notorious drug dealers and the D.E.A. Caught in the middle, Chase is forced to navigate a world of deception, violence, and high-stakes crime, all while trying to uncover the truth about what happened to his friend.

As the situation intensifies, Chase's skills as a former Marine are put to the test, and he finds himself asking if he's up to the challenge of saving his fellow soldier—or if he's in over his head.

Packed with action, suspense, and a touch of noir, Chase Gordon introduces readers to a new hero who embodies the spirit of the legendary Travis McGee. With danger lurking around every corner, this is one thrilling ride that fans of adventure won't want to miss.
