Overview

1000 Days is a gripping mystery set aboard an offshore oil rig located in the Gulf of Guinea, where the crews' high morale is shattered by the shocking discovery of a crew member's body. The senior police officer brought in to investigate is convinced that the death was as a result of an accident and quickly departs the rig. At the heart of the story is Jack Driscoll, a former military officer turned Chief Safety Officer, haunted by a troubled past and burdened by his role as the rig's guardian of safety. When the death raises questions of foul play, Jack finds himself drawn into a situation that threatens not only his job but also his sense of justice and his already fragile peace of mind. What initially appears to be a tragic accident quickly unravels into a web of deception, crime, and deadly secrets, leaving Jack scrambling for answers in the isolated and claustrophobic environment of the rig. Jack must also contend with Lena Kovac, the rig's mysterious and sharp-witted Logistics Manager. Lena's shadowy past and enigmatic behaviour fuel Jack's suspicions, even as a deeper connection begins to surface. Unbeknownst to Jack, Lena is pursuing her own agenda, tracking down a cartel linked to her father's dark legacy, a cartel that may have infiltrated the rig by corrupt means. The investigation exposes hidden tensions among the crew, including Glen Hardwick, a senior engineer entangled in a contraband operation, and Marcus Puskar, whose illicit dealings make him both a victim and a perpetrator in the unfolding drama. As Jack struggles to piece together the truth, he uncovers subtle clues pointing to several unexpected suspects. Set against the backdrop of a violent storm that mirrors Jack's inner turmoil, 1000 Days is a tale of action-packed drama, betrayal, resilience, and redemption. With the rig battered by the elements and the crews' trust eroding, Jack must face his own guilt and fears to uncover the truth before the rig's fragile world implodes. In 1000 Days, the clock is always ticking, and every decision is a step closer to survival, or destruction.

""Thorley Sinclair does an excellent job of ratcheting up suspense in 1000 Days. I love stories that take place around the industry of black gold, but when you mix rig work and a murder mystery? I'm sold. Sinclair does not disappoint. The Nicodemus rig feels like a character in itself-claustrophobic, isolated, and pumping out some serious drama. Sinclair's writing is textured and effectively portrays the constant sense of unease and the pressure on everyone. The pacing is sharp, with action balanced by moments that come across as authentically human, particularly with Lena, who was actually my favorite character. Crafty, sharp, and very highly recommended."" 5 STAR review by Jamie Michele for READERS' FAVORITE ""If you're tired of formulaic land-based thrillers, hop aboard the Nicodemus in 1000 DAYS, a gripping adventure 120 miles from shore. Thorley Sinclair has crafted a story that features an intricate mystery, characters with rich, well-developed histories, and a unique setting. The tension comes in the form of suspicious crew members, past inner demons, vivid confrontations, and other high-intensity scenes. Tackling everything from widespread corruption and cartels to closely held secrets and unfortunate scapegoats, the plot unfolds in unexpected ways, keeping readers invested. 1000 DAYS is an action- packed tale that shows us how the past might catch up to us but we aren't destined to be victims of it."" 3 STAR review by Nicky Flowers for INDIES TODAY
