For pretty Ohioan Joan Rogers and her two teenaged daughters, a Florida sunset cruise was a dream come true. And even though all three were desperately afaid of the water, they were so taken with friendly boat owner Oba Chandler that they gladly accepted a ride with him on beautiful Tampa Bay. Little did naive mom and two daughters know that behind Chandler's mask of a gracious host lurked a daring and ruthless ex-con, a thief and a liar, a seductive Don Juan who used and discarded wives and children. As they sun serenely sank below the Gulf of Mexico, Chandler suddenly shut down the engines, dropped anchor...and turned into a sadistic torturer. Hog-tying and brutally raping all three, Chandler tossed them overboard -- alive -- with 40-pound cement blocks tied to their necks. With cruel laughter, he spoke his last words to them: "Swim for it." But the dark green waters of Tampa Bay refused to hold his monstrous secret, and after only three days, the bodies of his victims surfaced. If it hadn't been for a dedicated team of detectives and the clues provided by Chandler's neighbors, a depraved killer might have gotten away with his ghastly crime. Instead, he now paces the floors of a Florida prision awaiting his rendezvous with the electric chair.

Man Overboard tells the inside story of one of America’s most notorious murder cases in decades, providing unprecedented insight into the death of Greenwich native George Allen Smith IV on his honeymoon. He married Jennifer Hagel in June 2005. Both of them were young and beautiful. He came from an old-line Greenwich family; she, from blue-collar Cromwell and with a reputation for being a flirt. Just eight days after their wedding, their new life together disintegrated on their Royal Caribbean honeymoon cruise. The morning after several booze-fueled melees, a gruesome blood stain traced the awning below their cabin, and George had vanished. After four years of bitter legal wrangling with both families, Royal Caribbean recently handed over its files to the FBI, which announced that Smith’s murder is “very active and open.” Man Overboard provides an extraordinary look into a case that has captured the public imagination and raised provocative questions about the unregulated cruise industry, leading directly to the historic Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act signed by President Obama.

The rat twitched violently before collapsing.Its breathing stopped completely. Yes, Bruce thought, it is dead once again. He shook his head in both fear and disgust. Now the first rat was in the corner gnawing away at the newest piece of meat it had acquired, but Bruce continued to pay attention to the dead rat.He stood by the main cage with his hand over his mouth. It was the cage holding the first two rats that were injected with the new, tweaked substance.After less than thirty seconds the "dead" rat's rear leg began twitching incessantly, and soon it lifted its head and glared at its opponent, its milky white eyes reflecting Satan himself. It got on all fours, drew back, and flew at its cage-mate with a ferocity that Bruce had never seen.The tables had violently turned.

The lightening-fast assault on the giant new luxury cruise ship, Sunset Clipper, shocked the world. With chilling precision, two explosives-laden speed boats had impacted the ship as it left Miami harbor on its maiden voyage. The resulting explosions took a devastating toll on passengers and crew. As with the 9/11 attack, members of the U.S. government's anti-terrorism community were totally blindsided by the scope and viciousness of this well-planned operation. Ben Hendricks was especially outraged. His SAID team was a small, but highly effective operations group buried in the departmental labyrinth of the shadowy intelligence agency, the NSA. As a member of the government's elite anti-terrorism taskforce, Director Hendricks took the attack personally. The young, dynamic heir to the most popular cruise line fleet currently sailing the Caribbean also took it personally. Rolf Hansson's Caribe-Antigua line was about to launch the world's largest and most attraction-filled ship ever built, the Azure Maiden. Rolf now worried about how tempting a target the new ship would be to this mysterious new terrorist group. Neither man could possibly have foreseen how fate was soon to throw them together in a battle to the death with an elusively clever and very determined enemy. This thrilling story weaves a strong tale of the combined US intelligence services team both seeking the perpetrator of the attack, while at the same time, working with the cruise line CEO to help defend against the next expected assault. Following the trail of a reclusive Dominican resort mogul, the NSA/CIA ops team raid two of his cults' compounds on Hispaniola. Escaping capture, the billionaire and his henchmen retreat to a remote island location in the Caribbean to complete their plans for a most horrific attack to date. The final chapters reveal a riveting crescendo of plot twists and turns at sea as the on-board security teams of the world's largest cruise ship plan to face the anticipated attack headed their way.
