Silver medal winner for the Florida Authors and Publishers Association.
In the face of the escalating threat to Florida's wildlife, Fish and Wildlife Officer Seth Grayson and Officer Liz Corday find themselves immersed in a dangerous battle against turtle traffickers. The discovery of Hap Dunbar's involvement in the illegal trade sets off a chain of events that put the lives of Seth, Liz, and innocent victims at risk.
As Seth and Liz uncover the extent of the trafficking operation, they realize that a vicious Asian organization lies at its heart. These criminals see the turtles as highly valuable commodities, worth killing for. With the lives of Dunbar's grandsons hanging in the balance, Seth and Liz race against time to rescue them and put an end to the shipment of turtles leaving Florida.
The investigation takes them through a web of clandestine networks and hidden operations, as they navigate the dark underbelly of the illegal wildlife trade. Along the way, they face constant danger, with the traffickers becoming increasingly desperate to protect their lucrative enterprise.
Praise for this book
Brenda's prolific offerings continue with the familiar protagonists from her previous novel, "The Alligator Dance." Set in SW Florida, it presents a realistic story of crime involving species endangerment, international gang greed and mayhem, kidnapping, murder, suspense, and romance thrown in for good measure. This award-winning author continues quality reading.
Ms. Spalding shines a light on the dark and dangerous world of endangered species trafficking. She transports you into a Florida very different from its pristine sand beaches, crystal blue water, and lush landscape. Beneath the mangrove tangles lies a seamy underbelly of criminal activity often bathed in blood. A page-turner from beginning to end.
