DEAD IN THE WATER
2 LOVERS, 1 YACHT, 12 KILLERS…
While Alexa and Clay have nothing but passion in mind, twelve cutthroat killers board her billionaire father’s super yacht.
Clay, an elite Delta Force captain, is home on leave and has no plans except to spend every minute with his girlfriend, Alexa.
Then the gang of ruthless pirates board her father’s yacht and find a handful of fat cats and a harem of good-time girls in full party mode.
The pirates have but one demand: that Alexa deliver three hundred million to the boat or her father’s a dead man. To prove they’re not screwing around, the body count starts to rise.
Faced with no better alternative, Clay sneaks on board in a desperate attempt to save those on the ship. His chances— you guessed it—slim to none.
PRAISE FOR PALM BEACH SERIES
“Entertaining debut.”—Publishers Weekly “…[a] taut, efficient procedural.…Charlie and his colleagues are a funny, agreeable bunch, and the villains are suitably villainous. It’s a pleasure to watch craftsmen at work, and that describes the author as well as his cops.”—Booklist “Palm Beach Nasty was a quick and enjoyable read….There are hints of Miami Vice, notes of NYPD Blue, heaps of originality, and a sprinkling of humor… This was a great read and I will be eagerly awaiting his next novel.”—Black Dog Speaks
“In a small town, nobody quite knows everything. And secrets might turn out to be more than lies. The atmosphere’s convincing. The characters, rich and poor, strike just the right tone. Charlie Crawford’s past and future tear at his present, and there’s a pleasing good humor that promises depth as well as resolution. Palm Beach Nasty lives up to that deep promise. The atmosphere’s light as well as dark, and deep memories bubble to the surface rather than dragging the reader down. It is a thoroughly good read, a literary mystery that’s more than the sum of its parts.”—Sheila’s Reviews
