You find yourself trapped ninety feet below the surface of the ocean. You are out of air. What do you do? Houdini would know, but Spider Green? Of course.
Now Spider is back! Imagine, if you will, a female version of James Bond whose sense of curiosity and proactive thinking lands her in deep waters but also gets her out again in the most amazing ways.
The second book in the Spider Green Mystery Series, Arid Sea, is a study in intrigue that opens in the Czech Republic with the prayers of a former Arizona girl facing a final release from her bondage as a sex slave to the Russian Mafia, which has been her life since she was abducted.
It takes only a few days' events more for protagonist, Navy lawyer Commander Faydra Green, to walk into center stage limelight in her latest escapade, which involves a special mission to tackle one of the nation's wealthiest men—aided by her convictions and the unlikely help of both a CIA operative and a Chicago mafia crime boss.
Presenting the operating fields of distinctly different milieus is challenging, from international tension to trouble at home. Still, Norm Harris achieves this through a blend of thriller tension applied to relationship inquiries that tie together such seemingly disparate threads as Native American Indian heritage and genderqueer characters whose real identities prove mercurial.
Suppose you enjoy the stories of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Stella Rimington's, Liz Carlyle and Peggy Kinsolving, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, Ian Fleming's James Bond, or Houdini. Then today is your day to know Spider Green.
