Slipping Moorings
Tidewater Marina, Caldmere
A routine insurance transfer at Tidewater Marina has unraveled into something uglier — a forged bill of sale, a boat that may not belong to its new owner, and a broker who keeps insisting the signature is his.
Everyone has something to hide.
The conscience of Caldmere. Has run the Gazette for twenty-two years. Fierce, principled, and terrified that the paper will die before she does.
Twenty-six years on the force, twelve as chief, and Ray is tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. Protective of his department, skeptical of outsiders.
The queen of Caldmere's stage. Talented, narcissistic, and capable of extraordinary cruelty in the name of art. Everyone auditions. Not everyone survives.
