From International Thriller Writers Award winner Sean Black, The Yacht Girl is the most explosive Ryan Lock thriller yet—perfect for fans of Jack Reacher, Orphan X, and Jason Bourne.
Ryan Lock and Ty Johnson have seen their share of dark places. But nothing like this.
Their assignment sounds simple: assess the security of a billionaire’s private island. But from the moment they arrive, something feels off. The rules are vague. The smiles are forced. A girl is missing—and no one’s saying why.
This isn’t a playground—it’s a trap.
And powerful forces will do whatever it takes to keep their secrets buried.
