Mystery Woman Sleuth | Suspense Psychological
In her Seychelle Sullivan novels, Christine Kling has
brilliantly rendered the world of South Florida, as seen
from the teeming waters around it. From harbors of Key
West to the wilds of Biscayne Bay to the night lights of
Miami, Kling’s tough-minded heroine has carved out a life
that is uniquely her own. Now, this fiercely independent
woman is at a turning point . . . and in a dangerous duel
with an unseen enemy.
In the 1800s, Key West was
built by wrecking skippers who in feats of derring-do
raced to shipping disasters to save valuable cargos from
the ocean depths. Today, as too many boats chase too few
wrecks, salvage has turned into a cutthroat corporate
enterprise. Seychelle Sullivan, who pilots a tug her
father built by hand, is unable and unwilling to compete.
She is overwhelmed by issues of love, trust, motherhood,
career, and family. But when a friend is killed, Seychelle
begins to suspect a chilling scenario: that modern-day
wreckers are causing yachts to crash onto the reefs–and
killing off whoever gets in the way.
Nestor Frias
was piloting a billionaire’s luxury power yacht on its
maiden voyage when it ran aground. A few days later, Frias
was dead. His eight-months-pregnant widow is distraught,
and a host of questions surround both Frias’s death and
the ship’s accident. When another man dies while asking
questions, Seychelle navigates the dangerous shoals and
channels of the case and her life, unaware that a greater
danger is looming: a murderous human storm designed
perfectly for her.
With its vivid, colorful
characters and rich sense of sea and land, Wreckers’ Key
is a brilliant addition to Christine Kling's fascinating,
entertaining, and thrilling Florida mystery series.
