Retribution is the second book of the Chain of Deceit series. It has been revised and updated to correct some inconsistencies previously identified by audiences. The story begins where the first book ended. Nazi gold originally bound for the Third Reich has been recovered by the crew of the salvage ship Phantom and is headed to England. However, a group of renegade Irish Republican Army members have other plans for this cargo. They plan to steal the gold and use it to execute all the members of the royal family as well as destroy London. The renegades have already killed several members of the royal family, and are very close to purchasing a nuclear device through their communications with a Soviet nuclear missile submarine captain who wants to retire in the islands. Their plan to destroy London is almost ready to happen.

While Davin Pierce and his team are investigating the mystery surrounding the sunken freighter MaryJean, where the gold came from, and how it got to where it was recovered, they are dragged into deception and a government cover-up. Meanwhile, the FBI is investigating an international black market ring and its possible connection to the death of the president of the United States. Will they succeed in launching a missile at London, will the royal family and the residents of London be killed? This and much more will be answered in Retribution.
