Review “What a great first in series! If you’ve read any of the author’s other books in the AJ Bailey series, you know that Nicholas Harvey walks the walk. His descriptions of the underwater environment are always spot on. Deadly Sommer has more above the water action than the AJ series, but Nora Sommer is a police constable before she’s a diver. Harvey weaves a great story full of twists and turns, and even has puzzles for Nora and the reader to solve. Great story!” Wayne Stinnett, best-selling author of the Jesse McDermitt and Charity Styles series.”Nicholas Harvey has crafted a wildly inventive tale, equal parts suspense and mystery. At its center is Nora, a young Norwegian woman who must battle her own demons even as she confronts an enigmatic adversary. Detective Whittaker plays a starring role in this book and I very much enjoyed his interactions with a pair of FBI agents, on loan from the United States. Fans of AJ Bailey will be pleased with her contributions to the story as well. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of Nora Sommer!” – Nick Sullivan, author of The Deep Series.”What a fantastic start to this new series, and talk about a great twist! Nicholas Harvey has claimed the throne of the Coastal Thriller writers with the new, insane, ‘mother of all plot devices’ that he created. I literally caught myself holding my breath at several points throughout Deadly Sommer, it’s just that good and edgy. I had high hopes for this new series after reading the prequel novella, Finding Sommer, and his first book went above and beyond. Without a doubt, this is Harvey’s best writing to date, and I’m looking forward to the next instalment!” Don Rich – author of the Coastal Series.”Rookie Constable, Nora Sommer, is forced by a psychopathic killer to solve multiple challenges to save the life of a kidnapped woman in this race against the clock, debut spin-out thriller by Nicholas Harvey from his well established, AJ Bailey series. Nora’s tough, Norwegian, never say die attitude drives her relentless pursuit of the madman who is intent on dismembering his hostage and ultimately kill her if Nora fails. Harvey’s smooth style, great characters, brilliant Cayman Islands setting and badass protagonist, make Deadly Sommer and breakout star, Nora, surefire hits!” John H. Cunningham, author of the Buck Reilly Adventure series About the Author A USA Today Bestselling author, Nicholas Harvey’s life has been anything but ordinary. Race car driver, adventurer, divemaster, and since 2020, a full-time novelist. Raised in England, Nick now lives next to the ocean in Key Largo with his amazing wife, Cheryl. Motorsports may have taken him all over the world, both behind the wheel and later as a Race Engineer and Team Manager, but diving inspires his destinations these days – and there’s no better diving than in Grand Cayman where Nick’s AJ Bailey Adventure and Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense series are based.
