Salty

A witty page-turner from the bestselling author of Excavations, Salty takes us to a tropical paradise with a hurricane on the way, where two estranged sisters uncover their rich employers'' reckless development--could these yacht owners have something to do with the dead body found in the marina? Denise has been a yacht captain for half her life. She lives for storms on the Caribbean Sea and stingrays, has amazing pocket knife skills, and wouldn''t be caught dead socializing on the boat. She uses those knives to cut her own hair, and it shows. Her sister Helen is ten years younger and always wears accessories that prompt people to ask about her travels. The two haven''t seen each other in years. Helen''s made a career out of putting the hospitable in hospitality and was just fired yet again for hooking up with a guest. With every HR bridge burned, she joins Denise''s crew working the boats. The clashing sisters are immediately thrown into the deep--their first charter is the Falcon family, shady real estate developers who mowed down Helen and Denise''s childhood home to build condos along the beautiful peninsula here. The Falcons treat everyone like pawns--from their future daughter-in-law, gullible Poppy, who has no idea what she''s marrying into, to the uptight yacht concierge, Geoff, who''s looking for love in very wrong places. When the Falcon condo building collapses--and a dead body turns up beside it--Helen and Denise comb through the boat, marina, and beyond to uncover just how low the Falcons will sink in order to stay afloat--before the big storm wipes out the evidence.

From the bestselling author of Excavations, a hilarious page-turner about two estranged sisters who reunite to take down the luxury yacht owner who destroyed their childhood home—and might be responsible for the dead body next door.

Captain Denise is more comfortable facing down a stingray than a party guest, though she’s punched both in recent memory. After spending half her life at the helm of yachts across the Caribbean, she’s risen through the ranks thanks to one rule: never, ever mix with the owners.

Her sister, Helen, is a walking HR violation, one of many reasons the two haven’t seen each other in years. Recently fired after burning all her bridges, Helen returns home to work for Denise.

The clashing sisters’ first charter is for the Falcon family, shady real estate developers who mowed down Helen and Denise’s childhood home to build condos. But then the latest Falcon building collapses—and a dead body turns up beside it. Helen and Denise comb through the wreckage to uncover just how low the Falcons will sink in order to stay afloat—before the big storm wipes out the evidence.
