Book Review: Gross Negligence by Fred Lockwood
Gross Negligence is the latest book in the Jack Collier series by Fred Lockwood. Our story begins with a maritime tragedy during Hurricane Larry. This disaster sets the scene for our protagonists Jack and Sandro, as they decide to upscale their business Marine Salvage & Investigation Company with an opportunity to purchase a state of the art ship, the MV Stavanger and enter “the big league”.
With everything invested, Jack and Sandro attempt to make good their plans to be world leaders in search, salvage and rescue. Unfortunately things do not go to plan as they tackle their first big league job, the scuttling of the derelict MV Demerara Queen as an artificial wreck. Incidents befall them at each turn, some more obviously sinister, but are the accidents linked by something more alarming than bad luck?
Will the Marine Salvage & Investigation company be charged with Gross Negligence? With the reputation and financial future of Jack and Sandro’s business on the line, will the police investigation lead to another guilty party or ruin?
In his fifth book, Gross Negligence, Fred Lockwood again delivers a gripping read, with well researched technicalities of preparing a ship for scuttling and realistically portrayed diving details. This is a quick page turner and it was nice to have a dive based book to read while waiting to return to the water ourselves!
We thoroughly recommend this read and look forward to the next in the series.
