Swimming with Manatees by Bill Bennett Fl
KDP [Large Print Edition] Winner of the Firebird Award, Literary Titan Gold Award, PenCraft Award for Suspense, and American Writing Award Finalist A death on Florida's coast. A detective who won't let silence win. When the body of a young woman washes ashore in Crystal Cove, Detective Ava Martinez is called to investigate. What begins as a suspicious drowning soon unravels into something far more dangerous: ecological sabotage, corporate corruption, and a marine biologist's research that could change everything-or destroy it. As Ava digs deeper, loyalties fracture. Her partner is killed. The case turns personal. With the help of a principled scientist, a vigilant neighbor, and a loyal officer, Ava must navigate a town steeped in secrets and silence. Every step closer to the truth brings her closer to becoming the next target. Swimming with Manatees is an atmospheric mystery that blends: ¿ ¿ Environmental intrigue - a fragile ecosystem under threat ¿ ¿¿ Detective suspense - a relentless investigator haunted by loss ¿ ¿ Ensemble drama - allies bound by loyalty, justice, and resilience ¿ ¿ Emotional depth - grief, redemption, and the quiet power of memory Perfect for readers of Carl Hiaasen, John D. MacDonald, and Randy Wayne White - and for anyone who loves character¿driven mysteries rooted in place, conscience, and consequence. This updated edition reflects refined pacing, enhanced clarity, and improved continuity.| SKU | Unavailable |
