Stay Off the Water

Marine insurance investigator Cass Taylor comes to Kettrick, Maine, expecting fraud. Instead, she finds a burned lobster boat, a fishing license transferred before probate, and Roy Burkett's notebooks documenting suspicious vessels and altered records. The trail leads toward shell companies quietly buying control of working harbors. Beck Adams knows these waters and the people who would rather let evidence sink. Trusting him may be Cass's best chance to follow the truth, and the easiest way to become visible to the people trying to bury it. Follow the fish. Follow the money. Don't trust the paper.
