About the book

Deadly Accident on North Carolina Coast

When a tragic accident claims the life of an oil-rig worker on the first drilling platform off the North Carolina coast, Coast Guard investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are immediately dispatched to investigate the case. The atmosphere surrounding the oil rig is tense, with the unexpected death leaving everyone on edge. Environmental activists are vowing to stop the completion of the structure by any means necessary, while rumors of ancient curses lurking in the ocean waters add to the mystery.

As the investigation unfolds, mounting evidence suggests that the worker's death may not have been accidental. Was he targeted by one of the activists, or could the culprit be someone within his own crew? Rissi and Mason find themselves facing a web of suspects, as well as confronting their complicated history and growing attraction.

Just when they feel they are close to solving the case, a new obstacle presents itself. A tropical storm heads in their direction, leaving them stranded without any means of rescue—playing right into the hands of the killer. Now, the race is on to uncover the murderer's identity before they are silenced forever.
