Deadly Air Below

Seafarers vanish without explanation. The vessel is not on contract, but secured alongside other ships at a jetty. One moment the men are present, going about their daily routines. The next, they are missing. No alarms. No witnesses. No clear timeline. The unanswered questions refuse to remain confined to the jetty. As scrutiny spreads, the effects are felt far beyond the vessel itself. Staff in the shore office find themselves under pressure, suspicion and fear. Their professional lives are abruptly disrupted. Families make demands that are extremely difficult to meet. Authorities take swift action, using methods that jolted many. What begins as absence escalates into danger. Planned and chance encounters turn grievously confrontational. A gathering meant for mourning attracts the wrong attention and goes in a direction that puts more lives at stake. Deadly Air Below is a tense maritime thriller about disappearance, repercussions, and how lives can suddenly unravel far beyond the deck.
