$4.99
Coming from scandalous Florida treasure hunters and drug smugglers, Sloan McPherson is forging her own path, for herself and for her daughter, out from under her family’s shadow. An auxiliary officer for Lauderdale Shores PD, she’s the go-to diver for evidence recovery. Then Sloan finds a fresh kill floating in a canal—a woman whose murky history collides with Sloan’s. Their troubling ties are making Sloan less a potential witness than a suspect. And her colleagues aren’t the only ones following every move she makes. So is the killer.
Stalked by an assassin, pitted against a ruthless cartel searching for a lost fortune, and under watch within her ranks, Sloan has only one ally: the legendary DEA agent who put Sloan’s uncle behind bars. He knows just how deep corruption runs—and the kind of danger Sloan is in. To stay alive, Sloan must stay one step ahead of her enemies—both known and unknown—and a growing conspiracy designed to pull her under.
From the Editor
My first job out of college was managing a dive shop. I spent my days filling scuba tanks, selling dive equipment, and listening to customers’ tales of wreck dives, night dives, and deepwater dives. I learned the many rules of surviving underwater, but I was truly just an amateur diving enthusiast.
Sloan McPherson, the fearless lead character in Andrew Mayne’s new series, is anything but an amateur. She is far more comfortable below the waterline than above. When Sloan isn’t recovering bodies and evidence for the Lauderdale Shores police force, she is studying underwater archaeology.
On one of Sloan’s academic dives in a murky canal, she can barely see a foot ahead of her, and she has broken an important rule of scuba: never dive alone. So when she hears a big splash nearby, she assumes it’s an alligator. But it’s much worse: a dead body has been dumped in the canal. Soon Sloan realizes she knows the victim and becomes embroiled in the crime—as an investigator and the investigated.
Wall Street Journal bestselling author Andrew Mayne is the absolute master of creating gutsy characters who thrive in extreme circumstances. I found myself almost gasping as I followed Sloan into the fantastical and shadowy underwater world. But I was careful to remember the first rule of scuba diving: never hold your breath.
