Scott Jarvis Private Investigator #6
Sins of the Fatherland: A Florida Action Adventure Novel: Scott Jarvis Private Investigator, Book 6
A time bomb is ticking at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, and unless Orlando private investigator Scott Jarvis can find and disarm it in time, millions will suffer horribly.
On a sunny winter afternoon, Jarvis is doing nothing special when a new case walks into his life in the form of a beautiful blonde with flashing eyes. Jarvis doesn’t know it yet, but this new client is about to turn his life inside out.
Audrey Lambert and her grandfather need Jarvis’ special brand of hardboiled help, and they need it fast. Henry Lambert, the last survivor of an ill-fated submarine training cruise just after the close of World War 2, is holding Pandora’s Box, and the lid is already being pried open. It seems that Hitler isn’t quite done with the US, and the old man has a startling revelation that will thrust the young detective into the most dangerous and broad-reaching case of his life.
There’s something deadly hiding in the bowels of a sunken U-boat - something that if found by the wrong people could literally lay waste an entire nation. Now, an old man’s secret is out, and the hourglass is running down fast!
Jarvis must face personal danger and international intrigue - all while dealing with his personal loss. The past slams headlong into the present. Will the gritty investigator be able to defuse the situation before the pot boils over and a madman’s last evil deed scalds the world?

"Trouble is my business."
Scott Jarvis is a PI, ex law enforcement and military, now turned best selling author, sharing his cases with the public. His long term girlfriend, Lisa, recently left him so no longer contributes to his books.
This time, Scott is asked to help find the location of two submarines which were sunk just after the ending of WWII, somewhere off the coast of Florida, and the story switches between Scott's present day story telling and the happenings in the submarines in 1945.
The chapters written in the first person, from Scott's perspective, give an immediacy to the action as well as a better insight into Scott's thinking. His style is flippant, sarcastic, opinionated (and usually right) and, at times, frankly annoying: He still 'scoffs' a lot and acts the Sherlock Holmes for fun.
The story is convoluted and crazy with action of both the violent and romantic type. Pretty good listening mostly down to the narration by Lee Strayer, who gives a good performance as the wise talking author P.I., voice replete with good humored banter and sarcasm, very pleasant on the ear, paced well and well intoned. His individual voicing of the separate characters is also well executed, keeping everyone distinct.
This is an enjoyable series for anyone enjoying slick talking protagonists and, although number six in the series, is perfectly good as a stand alone even if some earlier characters do appear in the book. The background story of the two boats was intriguing, the investigation was also enjoyable although the actual ending seemed a bit messy and quickly over. My thanks to the rights holder of Sins of the Fatherland who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. I hope there will be another Scott Jarvis novel soon.

Middle Ground
This is my first Jarvis adventure. Started this one following the Bull Shark story as the follow up. Scott Cook has a writing style that is fun and realistic. He can get you into the story and then break your heart writing about losing your dog and how much they mean to owners. Living right down the road from where this adventure takes place makes his facts about the area go right along with the WW Two facts. The fast pace smart mouth hero comes across a real person. Caring, thoughtful and tuff the the first Jarvis adventure is my next read. These books are great reads. You will get engrossed and not want to put them down.

Great Read!
I have read many of Scott Cook's books and they never disappoint. I enjoyed this one in particular because it took the reader back to the USS Bullshark series. If you haven't read any of that series yet you will after reading this one.

great read
Great blend of history (even though pure fiction) and modern day sleuthing. All of the action both historical and modern entertaining
