Mourning Tide

A salvaged wreck. A human bone. Can Seychelle resist the call?

"Murder, money, boats, cults, and the dark side of paradise - this one has it all." -Amazon reviewer

Amazon #1 bestselling author Christine Kling returns to the waters of Florida and the Bahamas!

Deep in the waters of a Florida swamp, a more mature Seychelle is working aboard her salvage tug Gorda with her five-year-old son, Nestor. When she and B.J. adopted the boy, she promised herself that she would stop the reckless chasing after justice for those she loved.

But when they raise the wreck of a derelict powerboat, and Seychelle discovers human bones inside, the powerful urge to find the killer takes hold of her once more.

From the heated streets of Fort Lauderdale to the crystalline waters of the Bahamas, Seychelle follows the trail of an evil out to strip her of everything she holds dear.
