Shark Key Adventures

Lost Palm

She never asked to be a hero. Heroes seldom do.

Nearly a century ago, a treasure of unimaginable value was lost beneath the tropical waters of the Florida Keys.

But when a ruthless real-estate developer threatens Shark Key Campground and Marina, former journalist Kate Kingsbury must find it before her friends and neighbors lose the only homes they know.

It’s taken Kate two years to find peace after her husband was killed in a home invasion. Now she’s found her refuge, living the free and easy boat life at Shark Key Campground and Marina. Except that nothing in life is free. Or easy.

Shark Key is home to a rag-tag group of folks, scraping to get by on an island known more for its lively night-life and exclusive vacation homes than for stable jobs or affordable living. In fact, Kate quickly learns that the average local cobbles together a living from three or more jobs, just to afford their rent. She’s grateful to have Danny’s small pension and a home on a derelict houseboat named Serenity.

Shark Key’s owner, Chuck Miller, is a third generation Conch who’s committed to giving single moms a safe place to raise their kids. Until he gets a little behind on his payments and shady Miami slumlord Monty Baumann swoops in to steal the tranquil little island out from under him.

Shark Key’s last hope is an unbelievable legend from Chuck’s grandfather, a former gangster who worked for the infamous Al Capone. And when the only clue they have is stolen by one of Baumann’s hired thugs, the Shark Key family must band together to retrieve it and find the treasure.

But can they recover it before it’s too late?

This fun, Jimmy Buffett meets Indiana Jones style adventure will keep you listening all night. And Fans of Travis McGee or Sam & Remi Fargo will love Kate Kingsbury and the crew at Shark Key Campground and Marina. Listen to Book 1 in this new action-packed series today!

Lost Key

Bestseller Wayne Stinnett raves: “MARVELOUS JOB! Billy Rainwater is one of my favorites. Chris blended her characters and mine seamlessly.”

Kate Kingsbury & her retired police dog Whiskey chase a killer across the high-seas in this pulse-pounding addition to the bestselling Shark Key series.

When Kate Kingsbury and crew rush to help after a brutal hurricane widows a family friend, they stumble on an ancient mystery. Five indigenous idols are scattered throughout the Caribbean. Together, they hold the key to a fortune – and murder.

Hunting the idols thrusts Kate, Whiskey, and the Shark Key family into a race against time from the Dominican Republic to the Everglades. Because, unknown to Kate, a false shaman also seeks the idols.

With each idol he finds, he kills. So Kate and her friends must collect the remaining idols before another teen is slaughtered.

Kate can hold her own in a fight. But as the waters bleed, surfacing Kate’s darkest memories, the greatest obstacle may be the enemy inside.

If you love Travis McGee, try Kate Kingsbury! With a special guest appearance from Wayne Stinnett's beloved Billy Rainwater, this adventure-thriller will keep you turning pages through the morning-watch.
