The Actium Deception: Intrigue, Terror and Romance in the Mediterranean

by Thomas Davidson

The Actium Deception builds around a nuclear plot to reverse the American conquest of Iraq. Its heroine, Emily Sinclair, is a stunning young archaeologist drawn into the drama while working on an expedition in Greece. Her confederate Matts is a damaged survivor of his country's brutal civil war. Rootless and compromised, he is not safe to love or trust. Emily does both. Her deepening dependence on him exposes her to his contradictions, which she must resolve to save herself and prevent a cataclysmic crime.

About the author

Thomas Davidson is the author of the "Jurassic Jim" Fleetwood series, beginning with THE MUSEUM OF SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCES. The second book, PAST IS PRESENT, won two 2016 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Judges' Choice Awards for Comedy Thriller and Time Travel. These are quirky thrillers mixing mystery, music, mirth, melancholy, mayhem, murder and the missing.

His near-future thriller, EXIT, is loosely based on his short story, "Exit," winner of San Francisco's 2013 Litquake Booktrack Halloween Short Story Competition.

His nonfiction has appeared in "The Boston Phoenix;" and is excerpted in the national bestseller "Missing Beauty" by crime-reporter Teresa Carpenter.

Both Jurassic Jim novels contain invisible illustrations, which appear to the most imaginative of readers.

A Detroit expatriate, Tom lives...well...body in Boston, heart in Detroit, head in clouds.
