Above Board, (Paperback)

<p><strong>ABOVE BOARD</strong><br><em>A Weird &amp; Whacky Florida Mystery</em></p><p>When a luxury yacht explodes off the Florida Gulf Coast, everyone calls it an accident.</p><p>Danny "Gumbo" Malone calls it nonsense.</p><p>What starts as a routine inquiry into a suspicious boating disaster quickly spirals into a sun-scorched maze of crooked developers, shady marina deals, offshore shell companies, and a cast of Gulf Coast eccentrics who are anything but "above board." From Sarasota docks to backwater dive bars, Gumbo finds himself knee-deep in a high-stakes conspiracy involving real estate fraud, insurance scams, political corruption, and enough buried secrets to sink a fleet.</p><p>As bodies stack up and the pressure mounts, Gumbo must untangle a web of financial deception, waterfront greed, and small-town power players who don't appreciate questions. Between cartel whispers, backroom deals, and a few wildly unhinged locals, staying alive becomes its own full-time job.</p><p>In Florida, the sunshine hides rot just beneath the surface.</p><p>And this time, the tide is coming in red.</p><p>Packed with sharp dialogue, offbeat humor, fast-paced action, and a heavy dose of Florida noir atmosphere, <strong>ABOVE BOARD</strong> delivers a hardboiled private investigator thriller with a weird coastal twist. Perfect for fans of gritty Gulf Coast crime fiction, eccentric Southern mysteries, and sun-drenched suspense.</p>
