Book of the Month
Coast Guard Special Agent Frank Dalton is sent to investigate the death of a fisherman, drowned in the Gulf of Mexico. He's teamed up with know-it-all rookie agent Jessica Carter, and Frank is dreading the confrontation. He's almost ready for retirement and seriously, what's another drowned fisherman? He just wants to get through this. Fortunately, the case seems routine, that is, until the autopsy results come in. Frank and Jessica must quickly learn to work together to solve the case, and the closer they get to the answers, the killer gets closer to them.
