The Eye of Saba

A jewel stolen from legend. A curse that never left the sea.
In 800 BCE, a slaver seizes a gold pendant said to be a gift from King Solomon to the Queen of Sheba—and the ocean answers with a storm that swallows ship, crew, and treasure alike.
Nearly three thousand years later, Royal Navy petty officer Patrick Redman is on leave in Mombasa when a routine dive turns into a nightmare: a squall erupts out of nowhere, their boat vanishes, and the sea takes one of his friends in a brutal shark attack. Redman survives the impossible swim back to shore—battered, half-conscious… and carrying a heavy gold chain and an emerald that seems to drink the light.
The find should have been the end of it. Instead, “bad luck” starts following Redman—first on the Kenyan coast, then aboard his ship, then into the lives of anyone drawn too close. The deeper he digs into the pendant’s origins, the clearer it becomes that powerful people want it, history is lying about it, and possession comes with a price.
The Eye of Saba: The King’s Curse is Book 1 in the Patrick Redman Thriller Series—a high-stakes maritime thriller of obsession, hidden history, and the deadly cost of stolen treasure.
