Cross Current

She never expected to tow anything other than broken-down boats back from the sea.

But when Fort Lauderdale salvage tug captain Seychelle Sullivan spots a barely-awash wooden dory in the Gulf Stream with a young Haitian girl clinging to it, Seychelle's salvage job becomes a race against time to save a life.

Solange. Ten years old. Haitian. Half-starved, her small white dress stained rust-brown. Clinging to a bow post next to the bloated body of a woman who didn't make it.

Navigating Haitian Voodoo, the politics of immigration, and a threat she doesn't fully understand, Seychelle discovers that some salvage jobs require more than a towline and a bilge pump. Some wrecks are people. And some people are worth the risk.

Cross Current is the second book in the Seychelle Sullivan series. If you enjoyed the gritty mysteries of Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series, the colorful characters of Carl Hiaasen's South Florida tales, or the atmospheric settings of Dana Stabenow's novels, then you won't want to miss Cross Current.
