Kate Myers — Salty - with Mimi Montgomery

from Politics and Prose Presents · host Politics and Prose

Captain Denise is more comfortable facing down a stingray than a party guest, though she's punched both in recent memory. After spending half her life at the helm of yachts across the Caribbean, she's risen through the ranks thanks to one rule: never, ever mix with the owners.Her sister, Helen, is a walking HR violation, one of many reasons the two haven't seen each other in years. Recently fired after burning all her bridges, Helen returns home to work for Denise.The clashing sisters' first charter is the Falcon family, shady real estate developers who mowed down Helen and Denise's childhood home to build condos. But then the latest Falcon building collapses--and a dead body turns up beside it. Helen and Denise comb through the wreckage to uncover just how low the Falcons will sink in order to stay afloat--before the big storm wipes out the evidence.PURCHASE: https://politics-prose.com/book/9780063385481?ic_referral=mG38ds5zj5nf9e0UJexOxJu1HrDkPDkB0Sqv7qCSgNUwM4AjMOlKl8657fStW3EulbybeZFJ_sk-KQv9VbOHK419lMpd1fOntr4MqRWAr1SikASSaAx7HAkIAbkqA-8tiD2ND58Kate Myers is the author of the national bestseller Excavations. Her writing has appeared in Elle, BuzzFeed, and Self magazines.
