Mystery Woman Sleuth | Suspense Psychological
In her acclaimed novels of suspense, Christine Kling gives
readers good reason to believe that if Travis McGee and
Kinsey Millhone had ever hooked up, their child would have
grown up to be Seychelle Sullivan: a beautiful, savvy
heroine with a knack for steering her salvage tugboat into
South Florida’s most troubled waters. In Seychelle’s new
caper, she may just be in over her head when murder and
corruption come bobbing to the surface.
Since
kindergarten, Seychelle and her best friend, Molly, had
been as close as sisters. Molly even dated Seychelle’s
brother. But it all ended suddenly when Nick Pontus, a
slick, older, up-and-coming entrepreneur, came along. A
smitten Molly quit school, married her new beau, and never
spoke to Seychelle again. After thirteen years, it still
stings.
Seychelle didn’t see the sniper who picked
Nick off at the helm of his yacht, but she knows that
there are plenty of people in South Florida who wanted to
see the gambling-boat tycoon dead: the Russian mobsters
looking for a piece of his casino action, the Indian
gamers who resent his competition, and the ecological
activists fighting his plans to develop Fort Lauderdale’s
waterfront. But it’s Molly whom the cops zero in on. And
despite her bitter feelings and against her better
judgment, when her back-from-the-blue friend asks for
help, Seychelle can’t just weigh anchor and cruise. She’s
got to dive in.
What she finds is a money-skimming
scam aboard Nick’s flagship gambling boat, Nick’s new
trophy wife turned merry rich widow, and Nick and Molly’s
teenage son, a scared kid with a big secret . . . and a
killer on his
trail. Protecting the boy, proving
Molly’s innocence, and navigating between squalls of
gunfire add up to a tall order as salvage jobs go. But
like any good captain, Seychelle will never abandon ship.
Even if it means risking her life.
