Key West D.O.A.: A Jack Marsh Key West Action Thriller
COVER-TO-COVER HARD HITTING GRITTY ACTION. D.O.A. Is Pettit’s most ambitious work in his Key West Action Thriller Series. Jack Marsh takes on a salvage job to recover one of Egypt’s most treasured antiquities, the sarcophagus of the last pharaoh. Egypt is on the verge of collapse after the Muslim Brotherhood squandered the country’s treasury leaving it financially broke with tribal loyalties tearing the country apart. The government arranges for the sarcophagus to be auctioned off by Rothschild’s, a prestigious auction house in New York City. The secret shipment of the sarcophagus is discovered by Egypt’s enemies who want the antiquity for their own gain. Soon the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, the Mossad, CIA, and various loners are on the hunt. The Freighter with the sarcophagus aboard is lost in a hurricane off the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea. Rothschild’s send their best recovery agent, Briar Malone, to find the treasure and deliver it to the auction house safely and intact. Agent Malone hires Jack Marsh to help in the recovery, and the treachery begins. The betrayals, the duplicity, the double-cross, the lies, all unravel as the Island Queen plows her way south. Jack Marsh and Briar Malone take on assassins, terrorists, secret agencies, loners, and opportunists. Some live, some die, but no one gets away unscathed. The finale is a heart-pounding, breath-holding, shocker.

Ended too soon...
Fun book to read. Although a rather slow build up, the real action starts, Jack and the Queen along with his rag-tag crew are in major trouble then bam!, a quick tie up and it's over. Still very much enjoyed the story.

The latest Jack Marsh adventure has he hired to safely recover a sarcophagus from a downed ship and safely transporting it to Miami. If you know anything about Jack Marsh, you know he isn't the only after it. Everybody seems to be well armed. Lots of action and a very good read.

Key west DOA
Could easily have rated 5 stars if the authors would have expanded their fight scenes with more complete details instead of Jack hit head and found out two hours later what happened. The reader should get more of the story! Good story line and modern tale.
