"David Lyons takes us on a journey of deceit, international intrigue, and the brink of a possible nuclear war in WATERS OF OBLIVION. Judge Jock Boucher is at his very best as he attempts to unravel a bees nest of corruption and greed without getting stung. ...a must read. A great espionage thriller!" –Suspense Magazine
“Lyons adeptly keeps the action fast and furious. Powered by an impressively intricate storyline against a backdrop of a looming apocalypse, the renegade heroics of Boucher—“a one-man wrecking crew”—make this an undeniable page-turner. Literary adrenaline.” – Kirkus Review
Waters of Oblivion by David Lyons, the third in the critically-acclaimed Jock Boucher mystery thriller, action and adventure series, takes this unique and charismatic protagonist to an explosive new level of international intrigue from the very first pages.
What connection could there possibly be between the tragic death of a naval carrier fighter pilot of an experimental aircraft employing a new light wave communication technology, and the terrorist bombing of a funeral attended by the entire federal judiciary of Southeast Louisiana? Tormented after the death of his fiancé in the blast, renegade Cajun Federal District Judge Jock Boucher is asked by the President of the United States to search for an answer. Healing from his own injuries, but unable to refuse the request of his president, Jock is further conflicted when the brash young Detective Madeleine Toussaint, shares with him an outlandish plot she overheard while acting as local liaison with the FBI investigating the tragedy; a conspiracy devoid of rhyme or reason—a Southeast Asian ally of the U.S. blew up the function of federal judges. Proving this theory is part of an ambition the FBI has harbored for decades, to achieve the decimation and takeover of CIA. The bombing has provided the perfect opportunity.
Further deaths, a local lawyer with a case against the largest American defense contractor, and the coroner who investigated the lawyer’s death, bring Detective Toussaint, and Boucher’s best friend, Detective Fitch—just Fitch—into the realm of Boucher’s own quest. The trio is led to search for one of the most diabolical antagonists in all of thriller fiction—a naturalized American engaged in espionage, turned traitor against his adopted homeland, an arms dealer and assassin who is planning a nuclear apocalypse on the East Coast of the United States.
With legal strategies that fans of John Grisham will enjoy, military tactics that will appeal to any Tom Clancy reader, and New Orleans southern gothic elements worthy of a Greg Iles thriller, Lyons’ newest novel is a fast-paced triple threat, and an exciting treatment of what may be the next war facing the United States. To see where America’s greatest challenge may lie, look to the seas, look to the Waters of Oblivion.
