"A witty page-turner from the bestselling author of Excavations, Salty takes us to a tropical paradise with a hurricane on the way, where two estranged sisters uncover their rich employers' reckless development-could these yacht owners have something to do with the dead body found in the marina?"-- Provided by publisher.
A hilarious page-turner from the bestselling author of Excavations, Salty takes us to a tropical marina where two estranged sisters reunite to work on a luxury yacht and take down the owner who destroyed their childhood home—and might have something to do with the dead body found next door.
Captain Denise is more comfortable facing down a stingray than a party guest, though she’s punched both in recent memory. She’s been at the helm of these boats for half her life, back and forth across the Caribbean, and risen the ranks thanks to one rule: never, ever mix with the owners.
Her sister Helen is a walking HR violation, one of many reasons the two haven’t seen each other in years. Helen just got fired for the dozenth time for hooking up with a client and with every bridge burned, retreats home to work for Denise.
The clashing sisters are immediately thrown into the deep—their first charter is the Falcon family, shady real estate developers who mowed down Helen and Denise’s childhood home to build condos along the beautiful peninsula here. The Falcons treat everyone like pawns—from their future daughter-in-law, gullible Poppy, who has no idea what she’s marrying into, to the uptight yacht concierge, Geoff, who’s looking for love in very wrong places.
When the latest Falcon building collapses—and a dead body turns up beside it—Helen and Denise comb through the boat, marina, and beyond to uncover just how low the Falcons will sink in order to stay afloat—before the big storm wipes out the evidence.
