A death on Florida's coast. A detective who won't let silence win.
When the body of a young woman washes ashore in Crystal Cove, Detective Ava Martinez is called to investigate. What begins as a suspicious drowning soon unravels into something far more dangerous: ecological sabotage, corporate corruption, and a marine biologist's research that could change everything -- or destroy it.
As Ava digs deeper, loyalties fracture. Her partner is killed. The case turns personal. With the help of a principled scientist, a vigilant neighbor, and a loyal officer, Ava must navigate a town steeped in secrets and silence. Every step closer to the truth brings her closer to becoming the next target.
Swimming with Manatees is an atmospheric mystery that blends:
? ? Environmental intrigue -- a fragile ecosystem under threat
? ?? Detective suspense -- a relentless investigator haunted by loss
? ? Ensemble drama -- allies bound by loyalty, justice, and resilience
? ? Emotional depth -- grief, redemption, and the quiet power of memory
Perfect for readers of Carl Hiaasen, John D. MacDonald, and Randy Wayne White -- and for anyone who loves character?driven mysteries rooted in place, conscience, and consequence.
This updated edition reflects refined pacing, enhanced clarity, and improved continuity.
