“Lost at Sea: Sly Harrell’s Most Dangerous Investigation Yet”

When an ordinary favor turns into an extraordinary mission, former defense company industrial espionage agent and Department of Justice employee, Sly Harrell, finds himself navigating uncharted waters—literally and figuratively.

Sly Harrell isn’t your average private investigator. After years of uncovering secrets for powerful organizations, he now runs a unique business that specializes in locating valuable missing items. Whether it’s priceless heirlooms or corporate assets, Sly’s sharp mind and relentless determination make him the go-to guy for solving complex mysteries.

But when his lawyer and close friend Raiffort asks for help on behalf of an important client, Sly finds himself in a situation far more dangerous than anticipated.

The task seems simple at first: use the client’s 35-foot cruiser, the Nancy Lynn, for a “maintenance cruise.” But when the boat vanishes without a trace, the stakes skyrocket. Raiffort and the wealthy client beg Sly to locate the missing vessel. What starts as a search-and-rescue operation soon spirals into a race against time.

Sly discovers that the so-called “friends” of the client’s daughter—who were aboard the Nancy Lynn—are not who they claimed to be. Following a trail of clues, Sly uncovers a chilling truth: the boat’s crew members are terrorists, and their mission could have catastrophic consequences.

As Sly pieces together the mystery, he must use every ounce of his training and ingenuity to track the Nancy Lynn and prevent a devastating attack. With the clock ticking, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can Sly Harrell save the day—or will this be his most dangerous failure yet?

Dive into this thrilling tale of deception, danger, and high-stakes heroics in Sly Harrell’s latest adventure. If you’re a fan of heart-pounding suspense, unexpected twists, and unforgettable characters, this is a story you don’t want to miss.

Prepare to be hooked from the first page—and remember, in Sly’s world, nothing is ever as it seems. https://amzn.to/4gv2thj

Author DL Havlin announces the release of the 2^nd book in the Harper Sturgis, Iron Woman series… “Out of Italy”. It follows the very popular novel, “Turtle Point,” and has another sunny climate, Tuscany, as its setting. A client’s clues from her immigrant family launch Sturgis on a deadly treasure hunt. Harper rapidly solves the location of a vast treasure, but finds her monumental challenge will be how to get it “Out of Italy.” Unscrupulous characters want the treasure as much as she and include members of the mafia and unsavory clergy. History plays an important part as Havlin recounts the story of Mussolini’s mistress, Claretta Petacci, and the rumored theft of the Italian dictator’s gold. Harper outwits the competition and finds a truly unique way of bringing the gold home.
