Reviews
In Jacuzzi’s latest geopolitical thriller, a seasoned Canadian operative is pulled back into the shadows when an elite intelligence alliance begins to unravel.

​Jacuzzi writes with precision and a steady hand. He fuses the taut, suspicious atmosphere of Cold War-era thrillers with the streamlined suspense of modern-day techno-espionage. Though the tactical encounters are gripping and finely executed, the novel’s real strength lies in its atmosphere of quiet paranoia. Drake is a firm hand at the center, but it’s the fraying edges—the shifting loyalties and uneasy alliances—that keep the tension simmering. At once timely and urgent, the book explores the terrifying consequences of compromised surveillance in an age when information is the deadliest weapon.

A deftly orchestrated, globe-trotting espionage thriller with grit, intelligence, and a cold, clear warning about the systems we rely on to keep us safe.

A sleek, high-octane espionage drama…

Jacuzzi returns to his Dalton Drake series with a brisk, razor-sharp spy thriller crackling with paranoia, precision, and geopolitical consequence. Jacuzzi wastes no time plunging readers into a world where secrets are currency, alliances are fragile, and the line between friend and foe shifts with alarming speed. The story’s scope is vast. Assassinations in Sydney, double agents in Belgrade, political fallout in Beijing, and a cabal working behind the scenes all tie into one central question: Who is feeding classified information to enemy actors across the globe? Jacuzzi juggles these threads with surprising clarity. The pacing is brisk but controlled, and while the plot is intricate, it never becomes convoluted.

What makes the novel stand out is how it combines the clean logic of a procedural with the tension of a techno-thriller and the deep unease of a betrayal story. Jacuzzi doesn’t just toss drones and data at the reader. He builds dread from what those tools can’t uncover. The result is a thriller that feels one step ahead of the headlines.

Fans of Brad Thor, Daniel Silva, and Tom Clancy will feel right at home in Dalton Drake’s world.
