[Seychelle Sullivan 01] • Surface Tension

SURFACE TENSION is the first in this suspense series featuring Florida tug and salvage captain Seychelle Sullivan. As a woman in a man's world, Seychelle has to work twice as hard just to compete. Some have even called her reckless. In her view, she's just doing her job, salvaging boats and people's lives. On a steamy Florida morning Seychelle answers a Mayday call launched from the five-million-dollar Broward yacht, the Top Ten. Racing her fiercest competitor for salvage rights, Seychelle has a personal stake in this rescue. Her former lover, Neal Garrett, is the yacht's hired skipper. But being the first to reach Top Ten leads to a bloody payday when Seychelle finds a beautiful woman with a knife in her back - and Garrett is nowhere to be found. While the police treat her as the prime suspect, Seychelle begins to unravel a tangled plot connecting human predators with innocent victims, and a mystery on land with a mystery buried deep beneath the sea. Now, to find out what really happened to Neal, Seychelle must retrace his last steps through two murders and a horrific crime wave, to a final confrontation beneath the surface of the sea with someone who may want to kill her . . . or be her salvation.
