The Drowning Season

About the book

To track down a murderer in a beautiful location like paradise, Sofia Costa must utilize all the skills she has learned from Interpol - and put an end to a killer who has been observing everything from the beginning. Sofia Costa is not your average detective. Once a forensic polyglot at Interpol, she is now a luxury travel security consultant, intelligent, independent, and adept at blending in wherever she goes. When she receives a discreet message leading her to the renowned Hotel Miramare overlooking the Amalfi Coast, she expects a minor theft case. However, what she uncovers is much more ominous.

Precious family treasures are being returned as if the thieves had a change of heart. A young woman is discovered dead in the infinity pool. And each guest - whether they are billionaires or art collectors - harbors secrets. As hidden truths come to light and past traumas resurface, Sofia must outsmart a murderer lurking in paradise, navigate complicated pasts, and face the one puzzle she has yet to solve: her own.

Rich, captivating, and moody, The Drowning Season serves as the first installment in the Sofia Costa mystery series - an ideal choice for readers who enjoy the work of Ruth Ware, Tana French, and Elle Gray.
