Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A riveting, adrenaline-fueled tour of a vast, lawless, and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the high seas. There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world's oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation. Traffickers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men, vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound abortion providers, clandestine oil-dumpers, shackled slaves and cast-adrift stowaways—drawing on five years of perilous and intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Ian Urbina introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world. Through their stories of astonishing courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing, oil, and shipping industries, and on which the world's economies rely. Both a gripping adventure story and a stunning exposé, this unique work of reportage brings fully into view for the first time the disturbing reality of a floating world that connects us all, a place where anyone can do anything because no one is watching.

Book excerpt: When Emily Schultz, the president of Constellation Cruise Lines, buys an old cruise ship at a bargain price, she doesn't discover there's a ghost aboard until it's too late to cancel the deal. Desperate for help Emily calls upon Kayla Sanders and Natalia Baliskov to solve the crisis. The three women start a frantic search to find the identity of the ghost and her murderer. The "Lady" tries to communicate by flooding Kayla with crazy visions of the ship from her last voyage. Will the ghost's murderer kill another passenger who will be sailing on their next cruise? The entire ship is filled with suspects and potential victims, since everyone on the Sea Mist is a repeat passenger. The investigation ramps up when Kayla's fiance, Steven Young joins the ship. Suspended from his job at Interpol, Steven feels guilty and incompetent. While tracking down a smuggling ring selling black market antiquities, Steven's partner got too close to the culprits and paid with his life. Is there a leak inside Interpol? The smugglers traced Steven to Colorado, and now they know he's on the Sea Mist. Do they want him dead? Kayla must interpret her visions from the Lady in time to prevent another murder, and Steven needs to unmask the ruthless leader of the smuggling ring to get his job back. Their future depends on mutual success."
