Tan Lines
Something is killing the perch in Lake Erie. Is it bioterrorism or a new fish kill virus? When the incumbent United States president and the Canadian prime minister visit the Ohio State University's Stone Lab on Gibraltar Island for a conference and walleye fishing, the president disappears. It's two days before the president stands for renomination at the party's national convention in Cleveland. When the head of the presidential protection detail accuses Washington Post investigative reporter Emerson Moore of attempting to assassinate the U.S. president, Moore escapes and a massive hunt is initiated to capture him. The hunt is soon expanded to include a missing secret service agent and a mysterious, unidentified third party. Amidst a sniper's assassination attempt, a covert terrorist in Grosse Ile, a series of unsolved murders, and more, Moore tries to stay one step ahead of his would-be captors as he works to clear his name and find the president.

35 books19 followersBob Adamov is an Ohio-based mystery adventure writer whose stories are based in the Lake Erie South Bass Island resort town of Put-in-Bay, the “Key West of the Midwest.” His novels follow the adventures of Washington Post investigative reporter, Emerson Moore, and are written in the style of Adamov’s favorite author, Clive Cussler.
Adamov was the featured author at the 2006 Ernest Hemingway Days’ Literary Festival in Key West and named 2010’s Writer of the Year by the University of Akron’s Wayne College.
His first novel, Rainbow’s End, was a finalist as the top fiction novel for the 2003 Great Lakes Book Award competition that was won by the Pulitzer Prize-winner, Middlesex.
All of his novels were rated “5 Stars” by the Midwest Book Review and named as top novels in northeast Ohio by the Akron Beacon Journal. His novels have won awards at the Hollywood Book Festival, London Book Festival, New York Book Festival, Florida Book Festival and the Indie Awards.
He was a guest author at the 2008, 2010, 2015 & 2017 Clive Cussler Collectors Society Convention where he met his hero, Clive Cussler, and toured his car collection. Mr. Cussler endorsed Adamov’s fifth book - “The Other Side of Hell is a great read!”
“Bob Adamov is a superb craftsman of hanging-on-the-edge-of-your-seat mystery adventures…” - Midwest Book Review
Adamov’s favorite authors include Brad Thor, Mark Twain, Ian Fleming, Jack Higgins, and Alistair MacLean. He strives to emulate his favorite author, Clive Cussler, and created a character similar to Cussler’s Dirk Pitt.
His latest novel, Golden Torpedo, was released in July 2017. It continues the popular Emerson Moore series and Adamov’s string of island best sellers which include Rainbow’s End, Pierce the Veil, When Rainbows Walk, Promised Land, The Other Side of Hell, Tan Lines, Sandustee, Zenobia and Missing.
A Kent State University graduate, Adamov resides in Wooster, Ohio. He often can be seen in Put-in-Bay, Key West and the Cayman Islands with his scuba diving, boating and treasure hunting friends. He had worked for an Arlington, Virginia-based defense contractor in the intelligence sector.
Adamov is drafting the next novel in the series – Chincoteague Calm involving mysterious NASA rocket explosions and covert Russian and Chinese saboteurs on Chincoteague Island in Virginia. He is also working on Flight, which deals with a mystery surrounding former Bellevue resident and railroad tycoon Henry Flager and a train to Key West.
