When a young woman washes ashore in Crystal Cove, Detective Ava Martinez uncovers a marine‑biotech conspiracy willing to poison ecosystems, silence whistleblowers, and kill anyone who gets too close — including her partner.

Praise for Swimming with Manatees “A taut, atmospheric eco‑thriller… exposes corporate malfeasance.” — BlueInk Review “Corporate secrets, crooked power… pulls no punches.” — Foreword Clarion Review

Eric Hoffer Grand Prize Shortlist; 2nd Runner‑Up, Killer Nashville Readers’ Choice Award

As Ava investigates April Seagram’s ties to BioSphere, a marine‑biotech company with a spotless public image and a dangerous private agenda, the case widens into a network of falsified permits, stolen research, and corporate intimidation. Crystal Cove’s beauty hides a truth powerful people will kill to protect.

Then Ava’s partner is murdered.

Grief sharpens into resolve as Ava pushes past every warning to expose the corruption threatening Florida’s coastline. But in a town where alliances shift like tides and silence is currency, the next body could be hers.

Swimming with Manatees is an atmospheric eco‑thriller blending coastal noir, environmental stakes, and a morally complex investigation led by a heroine fighting her way back from loss.

Perfect for readers who love: • Eco‑thrillers with real‑world urgency • Atmospheric Florida settings • Crime fiction rooted in character and conscience • Slow‑burn mysteries that escalate into high‑stakes danger • Investigators who refuse to break
