The Girl Beneath the Sea (Underwater Investigation Unit, #1)

“The water is a giant lie.”

Sloan finds things in the murky Florida canals that everyone else ignores. She treats the water like a crime scene that never washes away.

“If you can see your own hands, it’s a good day.”

Being a police diver isn't about being a hero. It is mostly about being cold and blind while touching things you shouldn't.

“Everything in Florida is trying to eat you.”

The Everglades feel like a character that wants to swallow you whole. It is beautiful but completely indifferent to whether you live or die.

“I’m not my father.”

Sloan carries her father's reputation like a heavy weight. She is constantly trying to outrun a shadow she didn't even create.
