Swimming with Manatees: Large Print Edition (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781970628029)

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 - a story of grief, redemption, and the quiet power of memory

Fans of mystery, eco-thrillers, and character-driven suspense will be swept into this gripping novel of justice, resilience, and the fight to carry truth forward before the next body surfaces.
