No Time For Sandcastles

--A sprawling movie production in the desert outside Abu Dhabi.
--A high-profile missing person
--An unknown reason for killing him

Tom Curran, former special ops warrior, never dreamed of acting as crew on a movie set while searching for a politician’s missing son. JT Jacobs had a bit part in the movie, but he was into far more sinister things. A search uncovers drugs, guns, gifts from foreign governments, and the movie’s financial records. Then Curran finds him dead in the desert. Now it’s a murder mystery Curran can’t let go. Shady movie people, intrusive foreign agents, and a sudden injury to one of Curran’s guys complicate a mission that stretches from the vast Abu Dhabi desert to downtown’s bustling beachside promenade. A surprise attack, attention from the UAE government, and unusual scrutiny from the boss raise the stakes as Curran uses teamwork, a sense of humor, and quick wits to keep his team together and bring the situation to an explosive end.
