Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Matt "Loose Cannon" Shannon is an ex-FBI agent turned head of security for the world's largest cruise line. It's a career move that owes more to his predilection for the bottle and a few well hidden skeletons than his fondness for the Miami sun.

In the novel's explosive opening, Shannon's stepbrother, Jack Fontana, puts his back against the wall. At a waterfront reunion, Fontana gives Shannon what looks like a game controller — and before he knows what he's done, Shannon has sunk a freighter in Miami's shipping lane and his fingerprints are all over the device that sent the signal. Only once he's cornered does Shannon learn his stepbrother's real plan — a cruise ship job that could make enough money to last their lifetimes. Shannon thinks he's only providing backup and intelligence. And by the time he learns what's really going on, he's in too deep: the cruise ship has been hijacked and several people are already dead.

Fever is the story of Shannon's race to unravel the deadly labyrinth. With the help of a mysterious woman and his own instincts, he finds the one path that might allow him to survive.

Review:

"[A] potential mystery sleeper [that] could keep readers turning the pages well into the night." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"A compelling thriller from a great new talent....Read the first page with caution; you better not have any plans for the rest of the day." Jeffery Deaver, author of The Twelfth Card and Garden of Beasts

Review:

"I read an awful lot of books, hoping for, waiting for, one like Fever to come along." James Patterson

Review:

"Fever is a rock-steady, hard-edged thriller, elevated by humor and genuine humanity. A notable debut from Sean Rowe." George Pelecanos

Review:

"Rowe knows this territory well — especially the creatures that slither about it when the sun goes down. Jump on board, hang on tight." Les Standiford

Synopsis:

James M. Cain meets Elmore Leonard in this blisteringly fast debut thriller in which hijacking a cruise ship is just the first step in one man's sprint to deliverance — or destruction.
