Books with author Bowes Hall

An uninhabited island off the coast of Maine is an unlikely place to discover a plot to blow up a nuclear power plant, and Nick Holt is an unlikely man to try to thwart it. But chance and the nagging pain of earlier disappointments send Nick down a path that will lead either to self-fulfillment, or failure, or something much more sinister. Nick is a Wall Street lawyer and former SEAL corpsman who at midlife is riddled with angst about his marriage, the direction of his country and its misguided efforts at foreign nation-building, and whether he’ll ever make a mark in this life. Desperate to be a hero in the eyes of his much younger wife — and himself — he takes off in a reckless pursuit, going against every principle of his profession and common sense. As his quest builds to a point of no return, so too does the mission of Suleiman Kel, a senior officer in the Pakistani CIA.A fast-moving thriller, Fog Island weaves together the story of two men from similar times in dissimilar circumstances, but who follow the same arc — one that inevitably leads to their confrontations with their purpose in life . . . and with each other.
