Fair Winds of Death

Danger Lurks Within: A Gripping Tale of Intrigue and Courage

It's 1971, and the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) is far from the advanced crime-solving unit we know today as NCIS. No cell phones, no desktop computers, no DNA, no Internet. In this era, intelligence and raw investigative skills are the only weapons to unlock the truth. Enter Lieutenant Commander Marcus Colt, a seasoned investigator renowned for cracking the nation's most perplexing cases.

Despite his occasional short temper and sharp wit, Colt is unrivaled in his field. The country's top brass turn to him when no one else can handle the mission. Facing perhaps his toughest challenge yet, Colt must uncover the source of deadly informational leaks at the Norfolk Naval Base. The stakes couldn't be higher: four confidential informants have already been executed, and more lives hang in the balance.

With his youthful looks as an asset, Colt goes undercover as a junior enlisted man in Norfolk, Virginia. To succeed, he must infiltrate his own team, create close bonds, and dig deep into their lives - all while protecting his true mission. But not everything is as it seems; unexpected twists will test his limits and loyalty.

As Colt works feverishly to solve the case, he faces personal crises that add layers of complexity. An old flame reignites complicated emotions, while assassins lurk in the shadows. New alliances form, old friends return, and every clue leads him deeper into a labyrinth of secrets. Overcoming guilt from a near-fatal Vietnam mission, he must harness every skill to save lives and stop the dangerous leak.

Time is running out. With danger closing in, Marcus Colt must act swiftly to prevent further tragedy - even if the next target is him.
