A death on Florida’s coast. A detective who won’t let silence win.

When the body of a young woman washes ashore in Crystal Cove, Detective Ava Martinez is called to investigate. What begins as a suspicious drowning soon unravels into something far more dangerous: ecological sabotage, corporate corruption, and a marine biologist’s research that could change everything—or destroy it.

As Ava digs deeper, loyalties fracture. Her partner is killed. The case turns personal. With the help of a principled scientist, a vigilant neighbor, and a loyal officer, Ava must navigate a town steeped in secrets and silence. Every step closer to the truth brings her closer to becoming the next target.

Swimming with Manatees is an atmospheric mystery that blends:
• 🌊 Environmental intrigue — a fragile ecosystem under threat
• 🕵️ Detective suspense — a relentless investigator haunted by loss
• 🤝 Ensemble drama — allies bound by loyalty, justice, and resilience
• 💔 Emotional depth — grief, redemption, and the quiet power of memory

Perfect for readers of Carl Hiaasen, John D. MacDonald, and Randy Wayne White — and for anyone who loves character‑driven mysteries rooted in place, conscience, and consequence.
