Deepwater Deception is an adventure, an investigation, and a manhunt. It divulges the real reason for the Deepwater Horizon tragedy and leads the reader toward identifying the people responsible for causing it. It is the story of a rig supervisor on a five-day assignment being scapegoated by his employer, BP, as part of a corrupt deal the company made with the United States Department of Justice. It was a deal that allowed BP to return to business as usual after the worst oil-spill disaster in US history and gave the accountable executives free passes.
The narrative moves from the offshore rig to the courtroom, taking the reader on the life-altering journey of Bob Kaluza, an innocent man who was swiftly acquitted, yet carries the scars of being accused of causing the deaths of eleven men and contamination of the Gulf of Mexico.
