Orca: Assault off the Azores

Beneath the churning waters off the Azorean coast, a hidden research laboratory lies on the Atlantic seabed. When a brilliant marine scientist is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the discovery triggers a chain reaction that spans two continents, pulling readers into a breathtaking mystery. In his sixth novel, Warren Miner-Williams takes you on a relentless rollercoaster ride that never lets you catch your breath. From the moment the first body is discovered in the submerged laboratory, the investigation rapidly spirals outward, connecting seemingly unrelated threads. A single unexplained death becomes the key that unlocks long-sealed doors, revealing dangers far greater than anyone had imagined. Across the Atlantic, the trail leads into the lawless hinterlands of Venezuela, where a ruthless drug-smuggling cartel operates with impunity, its influence extending into every corner of South American commerce and beyond. In the suffocating heat of the jungle and the neon glare of coastal ports, alliances shift like sand, and no one can be trusted. Every step forward is a gamble, and the stakes are measured in lives. Meanwhile, in the sun-bleached towns of southern Spain, long-buried cold-case crimes are stirred back to life, and their forgotten victims finally demand justice. As the pieces of a decades-old puzzle begin to fit together, the connections between the laboratory, the cartel, and these old sins become horrifyingly clear. Miner-Williams masterfully weaves these storylines into a nail-biting adventure filled with unexpected twists and turns. Just when you think you understand where the story is heading, the ground shifts beneath you. With unforgettable characters and prose that crackles with tension, this is a thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page is turned.
