Some vacations end with souvenirs.
Others end with funerals.
Nick Smythe is the man you trust on vacation.
A calm, personable firefighter and EMT from Texas, Nick blends in effortlessly aboard luxury cruise ships. He's friendly. Helpful. Always first to respond when someone collapses.
Guests trust him. Crew rely on him.
But Nick doesn't cruise to relax.
He cruises to observe.
In the floating ecosystem of a cruise ship-where arrogance, entitlement, and humiliation are magnified under sun and alcohol-Nick believes certain personalities destabilize the social order.
And he believes imbalance must be corrected.
Using a nearly untraceable cardiac compound refined during the quiet isolation of the 2020 pandemic, Nick eliminates one disruptive passenger per voyage.
Clean. Controlled. Indistinguishable from natural causes.
He has done it every ninety days for fourteen years.
Until one man survives.
When Dallas executive Nic Stine collapses during a sail-away celebration and toxicology reveals a restricted compound in his bloodstream, coincidence turns into pattern recognition.
Nic sees the data others miss.
Cardiac events.
Near misses.
Toxicology anomalies.
And one smiling man appearing in cruise photos again... and again... and again.
As Nic quietly works with federal investigators, the cat-and-mouse game unfolds across decks, ports, and courtrooms-forcing one chilling question:
Is Nick a monster...
Or does he truly believe he's necessary?
Dead Sea of Etiquette is a razor-sharp psychological thriller about control, moral rationalization, and the thin line between correction and chaos.
Perfect for readers of:
Dexter
The Guest List
The Woman in Cabin 10
Silence of the Lambs
Dark, morally complex thrillers
Because conviction doesn't always mean containment.
