About this ebook
A couple’s quest to rescue a kidnapped girl leads them into the perilous heart of the Sinai desert: “A sure bet for adventure fans” (Booklist).
Nautical entrepreneurs Richard and Robin Mariner are relaxing off the coast of Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt when their boat flounders on Shaab Ruhr Siyoul—known as the Blind Reef—and they suddenly find themselves saving the lives of several refugees.
One of the survivors, Nahom, tells them that his twin sister Tsibekti has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom by smugglers. Shocked by Nahom’s story, Richard and Robin travel into the heart of the Sinai in a quest to find the lost girl. Now they must evade Egyptian police, Bedouin smugglers and militant Islamists in order to rescue Tsibekti and get out of the desert alive . . .
Blind Reef is a ripped-from-the-headlines installment in a seafaring thriller series that “resembles a mixture of Ian Fleming and Hammond Innes” (Publishers Weekly).
