Excerpt of Dark Water Dive by Kathy Brandt

MURDER IN PARADISE

A body floating in the water was just a damned horrible thing.

I just went into automatic and did my job.

His right arm was bent at the elbow, the back of his hand over his mouth as if he were trying to stifle a scream or bite back pain. There was a small hole in his forehead.

This was clearly no drowning. He’d been dead before he went into the water. There were few places better than the ocean for dumping a body. Bad luck for whoever dumped him that he’d gotten caught in the coral.

I had a feeling that Allen Robsen was no longer missing.
