Book 8 in the Aidan Grifford Sailing Adventure Series Raider is now part of the Challenge Yacht Charters team, and after eighteen successful months racing in Australia, Aidan Grifford decides to test the boat on the international scene. He sets his sights on the 2019 Transpac and ships the boat to the USA to compete in the biennial race from Los Angles to Hawaii. The Transpac is the longest and toughest race Aidan has competed in. With Raider touted as a line honours contender, he maps out a meticulous plan that he hopes will deliver a victory. Aidan’s plan begins to unravel when one crew member fails to arrive, and a spy for the opposition is discovered in the team. He struggles to keep his race campaign on track, but when he discovers that someone from his past has a score to settle, Aidan must deal with potentially deadly consequences that test his limits of endurance and threaten everything he has. The Sequel to Raider
I really enjoy this series but the black cloud that keeps following Aiden is getting to be too much. The acceptance of personal threats and dangers and the reluctance of using the police is bothering me. At least in this book - a storyline was developed to explain it a little which helps but sometimes the criminal actions like the kidnapping - don’t really follow a logical conclusion. However, I do enjoy these stories and will continue to read her books.
