About the Book
Marine Biologist Jack Ferrell risks his life when he investigates shark attacks off Waikiki Beach. An assignment that pits him against a ruthless businessman who kills to get what he's after.
Book Synopsis
Marine Biologist Jack Ferrell gets the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join a two-man military crew aboard the deep-ocean research submersible, Alvin. Their mission is to explore the wreckage of the famous WWII cruiser-USS Indianapolis-lying three-and-a-half miles beneath the surface of the Philippine Sea.
His adventure into the perpetual darkness of this historic deep-water war grave is cut short when the director at NOAA orders his immediate return to Oahu, Hawaii, to investigate an unexplained outbreak of shark attacks happening off Waikiki Beach. This assignment not only reunites him with Honolulu Police Detective Brian Tokunaga, it also lands him directly in the path of a ruthless businessman who kills to get what he's after. As a heightened threat against the masses of people flocking to the world's beaches intensifies, Jack puts his life on the line to stop the unthinkable.
Review Quotes
"Gripping and scary, the best thriller of this kind I've read since Jaws. Nikkel is a born storyteller."
-No. 1 Bestselling Thriller Author, Peter James
"A compelling tale, layered with suspense, all unfolding within the intriguing ambiance of Hawaii. What more could a reader want?"

"Using his talent for mystery and authenticity, William Nikkel has crafted a wild and thrilling story about the hidden dangers that lurk beneath the ocean waves. Let's hope this nerve-wracking tale remains nothing more than fiction!"
-Boyd Morrison, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
"Deadly Tide is every bit as good, and in many ways better, than the very best of Clive Cussler's seagoing adventures. William Nikkel's latest effort to feature Jack Ferrell is his most ambitious and accomplished yet, staking his claim to a spot in the highest echelon of thriller writers. Readers looking for thrills and spills of the highest order will find plenty of both in this roaring, rollicking humdinger of a high-stakes tale."
-Jon Land, USA Today Bestselling Author
"Submersibles, sharks, suspense-Nikkel delivers his most entertaining Jack Ferrell Adventure story yet! The research is steeped in authenticity, the dialogue sizzles. Think Jaws on steroids. Truly sensational!"
-K.J. Howe, International Bestselling Author of SKYJACK
"Dr. Jack Ferrell often finds himself in hot water, but this time trouble lurks beneath the surface. William Nikkel's Deadly Tide is a pulse pounding thriller that delivers."
-Bruce Robert Coffin, Award-Winning Author of the Detective Byron Mysteries
"From deep in the Pacific Ocean to the shallow water off Waikiki Beach, Deadly Tide is an all-thrilling adventure with high-stakes danger. Fast paced and tautly written, it will leave you never wanting to swim in the ocean again."
