Rough Edges Press today published Livermore author John G. Bluck's thriller novel, Mayhem at Sea. In mid-July the Public Safety Writers Association honored this book with an award.

In the book Kentucky Deputy Sheriff Luke Ryder is on a heart-stopping mission to save the lives of 5,000 passengers and crew aboard the luxury cruise ship, Sea Trek. When pirates hijack the ship—and demand a jaw-dropping ransom of $350 million—Luke finds himself in a nail-biting game of cat and mouse.

"I got the idea for this book when my wife and I were on a cruise to Alaska," Bluck said. "I often get ideas for new books when I'm on vacation."
