Dan Shaw
The Blood Red Sea
Dan Shaw has been practicing law only four months and he’s already burned-out. Add the fact that he’s just lost his girlfriend and the cops are scouring his dubious past, and it’s no wonder Shaw decides to set sail for the summer. But even alone in the middle of the sea, trouble finds him.
She’s naked, nearly drowned, and has little memory as to how she got that way. But the real story is even more twisted. Cesar Cardinal is a diplomat who takes diplomatic immunity literally. A playboy and high-stakes gambler, he’s feigned his wife’s suicide at sea and taken their young son to a heavily armed compound in the Dominican Republic, where U.S. law can’t touch him. But that’s not going to stop Shaw. From Bell Harbor to Monte Carlo, he’s baiting a trap with his own life…and there’s no telling what he’ll catch.

A meaningful and appropriate ending to Ron Faust's only series; melancholy and beautiful.

I really didn't care for this book. Contrary to other reviews I've read, I thought the story was very slow moving. It took me a long time to read because it just wasn't that interesting, and frankly, none of the characters were all that likable.

So much misogyny! I kept thinking there could be a reason for mentioning how much the woman was drinking, but no, no point in it at all. The men drank nonstop but that was not criticized. Comments about a woman’s makeup, women being unstable because they once went to counseling. It was so cringe. The plot was mildly interesting but shallow. Not worth my time.

The illegal legal eagle once again does good by doing bad. I’m willing to forgive the mistakes.

A fast-paced read that will keep your attention all the way through. The Blood Red Sea is as equally thrilling as it is conceptually captivating.

Alright story. Hero is conflicted and believable. Situation not so much.
