Coming from scandalous Florida treasure hunters and drug smugglers, Sloan McPherson is forging her own path, for herself and for her daughter, out from under her family’s shadow. An auxiliary officer for Lauderdale Shores PD, she’s the go-to diver for evidence recovery. Then Sloan finds a fresh kill floating in a canal—a woman whose murky history collides with Sloan’s. Their troubling ties are making Sloan less a potential witness than a suspect. And her colleagues aren’t the only ones following every move she makes. So is the killer.
Stalked by an assassin, pitted against a ruthless cartel searching for a lost fortune, and under watch within her ranks, Sloan has only one ally: the legendary DEA agent who put Sloan’s uncle behind bars. He knows just how deep corruption runs—and the kind of danger Sloan is in. To stay alive, Sloan must stay one step ahead of her enemies—both known and unknown—and a growing conspiracy designed to pull her under.
“Distinctive characters and a genuinely thrilling finale…Readers will look forward to Sloan’s further adventures.” —Publishers Weekly
“Mayne writes with a clipped narrative style that gives the story rapid-fire propulsion, and populates the narrative with a rogue’s gallery of engaging characters…[A] winning new series with a complicated female protagonist that combines police procedural with adventure story and mixes the styles of Lee Child and Clive Cussler.” —Library Journal
“The Girl Beneath the Sea continuously dives deeper and deeper until you no longer know whom Sloan can trust. This is a terrific entry in a new and unique series.” —Criminal Element
“Wall Street Journal bestselling author Andrew Mayne is the absolute master of creating gutsy characters who thrive in extreme circumstances. I found myself almost gasping as I followed Sloan into the fantastical and shadowy underwater world. But I was careful to remember the first rule of scuba diving: never hold your breath.” —Liz Pearsons, Thomas & Mercer Publishing Editor
