McCalack Thriller #1

Synopsis:

Dylan Timmers, a Dutch student, thinks he’s found the ideal summer job as a lifeguard on sun-drenched Miami Beach.

But his dream job turns into a nightmare when he discovers a body on the beach.

What begins as an ordinary workday quickly spirals into a deadly adventure. A mysterious package at the crime scene draws Dylan into a merciless battle between rival drug criminals and ruthless terrorists.

As the threat grows and the lines between good and evil blur, Dylan discovers that even the most innocent vacation can turn into a deadly game.

What if advanced nanotechnology falls into the wrong hands? And who can he trust when crime invades paradise?

In this blood-curdling thriller, an ordinary student unwittingly becomes the center of a global conspiracy—and Dylan must do everything he can to save himself and others.

It was supposed to be the best Summer job of all time. It became the most dangerous ever...

Inspiration: 

A short item on the news revealed how much money criminals are earning by selling drugs. The profit equals billions of US dollars, which is used to enlarge their power. Terrorist organisations produce and sell drugs, using their profit to buy weapons. I questioned myself, what if those wealthy criminals and terrorists would fight over power? Gatorway is an introduction to this problem.
