The J.D. Stanton Mystery series features a Navy captain who specializes in investigating unusual and unexplained incidents at sea. A Ship Possessed (1999) kicks off the series with a decommissioned ship that harbors dangerous secrets. Vanished (1999) raises the stakes when an entire crew goes missing.
Out of Time (2008) arrived nearly a decade later, adding a third case to Stanton’s record. The series blends military procedure with supernatural suspense, giving the investigations a dimension beyond ordinary naval thrillers.
