Most mothers-to-be spend their pregnancy leafing through baby names and shopping for nursery furniture. Minka Avery spends hers trying to hunt down a murderer on the open seas.
Minka’s promotion to Orlando PD’s homicide department has some bumps at first, including her growing baby bump. Just as she and her partner begin to hit their stride, Logan Baris’s suspicious death baffles them. The investigation leads the detectives to believe he had a hand in a shady operation, but the cruise ship worker’s troubles seem to voyage into the ocean blues with him.
After they meet up with some dead ends on land, Minka convinces her partner and his wife to join her and her husband to embark on a covert investigation on the ship. Will they be able to uncover whatever scheme is underway on the vessel? Or will the choppy waves of personal drama make it run ashore?
EXCERPT
“Of all the plans you’ve proposed, Minks, I swear…” Gus cried later that day.
“Like we told you, our resources are so limited. We need a look into the victim’s life—as we do in every case. Going undercover is the only way to get it,” Minka told him in her defense.
“And like I told you, this isn’t your job. Your job is to uncover everything you can about his life here and whether or not an element of it led to his death. Whatever transpired at sea is out of our hands.”
“As well as our jurisdiction,” Cael added.
Unwilling to give up on her idea, she inquired, “Suppose I, hypothetically, just wanted a vacation, and I just so happened to book a cruise on The Exquisite Marvel. During the voyage, what if I witnessed something that could be pertinent to a hypothetical investigation? Would you allow me to act on it, hypothetically speaking?”
“What you do in your hypothetical spare time is none of my business. However, you could only take legal action on American soil.”
“Then, Cael and I need the rest of the week off, starting Thursday.”
Cael’s eyes widened. “We do?”
