Helen Hawthorne is ready for action. Teaming up with her
husband Phil Sagemont, she is looking forward to making
their newly formed private investigating firm a success.
With his wealth of experience plus her keen sense for
adventure, it comes as no surprise these two click
perfectly. As an added perk, their office is conveniently
located in the same apartment building as their home making
it possible to combine work with pleasure while building a
nest egg for their future.
Their latest case takes them to the high seas in search of a
jewel smuggler on a luxury cruise yacht. The two decide
Helen is the best person for the job, and she goes
undercover as a stewardess in hopes of catching the thief.
From scrubbing toilets to vacuuming in the lines, Helen
certainly has her work cut out for her. As she does her best
to stomach the choppy waters, Helen must act fast in order
to save the captain's reputation before the jewelry
smuggling ring is exposed.
While Helen is busy playing hostess on the high seas, Phil
has his own investigation in progress. Working undercover as
an estate manager, Phil hopes to prove that his client's
gold digging step-mom killed her elderly father. As a master
of disguise, Phil goes to extreme lengths to bring the
killer to justice. With a fortune on the line, the stakes
get higher as Phil finds himself up against quite the sneaky
suspect.
FINAL SAIL is the eleventh installment of the national
bestselling Dead-End Job Mystery series. Viet's acute
attention to detail lends credence to the plot, making it
not only engaging, but also informative. The amount of
research is quite evident as she peppers the storyline with
minute details of yachting as well as the lives of the rich
and famous. Delightful, entertaining, and truly insightful,
FINAL SAIL is a sailor's dream.
To catch a jewel smuggler on a luxury yacht, Helen needs to
pose as the ship's new stewardess--but between serving
drinks to the snobs, scrubbing floors, and cleaning up after
seasick passengers, she's starting to miss dry land almost
as much as she misses Phil.
While Helen's cruising to the Bahamas, Phil's got his own
job--trying to catch a sexy gold digger who may have killed
her elderly new husband for his fortune. Good thing he's a
self-proclaimed master of disguise, playing it cool as
everything from an air-conditioning repairman to a
Rastafarian.
Helen's a help to Phil in his case, but when she's on her
own on the high seas, Helen needs to watch her step as she
searches out the smuggler--or she may end up going from
undercover to overboard...
