About the author

Peter Tonkin's first novel, KILLER, was published in 1978. His work has included the acclaimed "Mariner" series that have been critically compared with the best of Alistair MacLean, Desmond Bagley and Hammond Innes.

More recently he has been working on a series of detective thrillers with an Elizabethan background. This series, "The Master of Defense", has been characterised as 'James Bond meets Sherlock Holmes meets William Shakespeare'. Each story is a classic 'whodunit' with all the clues presented to the reader exactly as they are presented to the hero, Tom Musgrave. The Kirkus Review described them as having 'Elizabethan detail, rousing action sequences, sound detection...everything a fan of historical mysteries could hope for."

Reviews

[Marilyn Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Two ships and a submarine are caught in a terrible storm. The survivors have more and more life threatening circumstances to navigate. Recommended by Clive Cussler (one of my favorite authors). This book is full of suspense, thrills, darkness, and lots of water. Once the storm hits, it is impossible to put down.
