The truth lurks deep beneath the ocean’s waves.
Dr. Evelyn Sims, a brilliant but maligned marine biologist, watches a television screen as her personal life becomes a national headline. Her husband’s mysterious death at sea is being broadcast on every major news network. The fantastic tale describing the accident—as told by the lone, female survivor on the Greenback—fills Evelyn’s mind with questions and throws her personal and professional life into chaos.
However, Evelyn soon realizes there’s no time for self-pity. She’s being watched now. Her scientific views are being scrutinized even more than before. Her husband’s office, their home, and everything else they own is now under investigation and surveillance. A web of betrayal and deceit is closing in on her, and she’s still searching for answers.
Micah Gregson, the Coast Guard captain of the ship which responded to the accident, is determined to find out why a special, cryptozoological unit of the FBI is involved. His years of experience are waving red flags at him. The facts aren’t adding up, but the body count is. So, he joins forces with Evelyn. Together, they will uncover a plot deadlier than anything the ocean could ever produce. But will their efforts be enough to save Evelyn’s life and redeem her career? Or will it destroy everything, including the truth?

Praise for The Serpent’s Grasp
"The Serpent's Grasp is the best book I have read for awhile and the most interesting Christian and mystery tale I have ever read. I really like the action mingled with the religious lessons within this book...It is an awesome mix between a search for God and high marine adventures. The Serpent's Grasp is a very good mix for readers of spy stories and mysteries, and those who love clean books and analyze the truth of every tale they read. Some books are just to enjoy.
This is a fast-paced tale that will keep you guessing and turning the pages to the wee hours of the night. It is a great choice for readers who want to explore tales between the theory of evolution and that of the creation. In addition, it is excellent reading for young adults and adults alike. Kevin tops it off with a great plot full of twists and turns in every chapter."
