Dead On A Rival
Description
Detective Carina Quintana's latest challenge takes on an unwelcome personal flavor in the harrowing Dead On a Rival. When the apparent accidental fall of a handsome Brazilian tycoon from a luxury cruise ship in the Caribbean interrupts Carina's holiday with the edgy Alice, Carina is not the only one to wonder if murder might not be a more accurate description for what happened in this particular case of man overboard. Enlisted to investigate by the ship's captain and security officer, it is not long before Carina begins to wonder whether the gorgeous former super model the mogul dined with shortly before his death might have been responsible. But as she attempts to unravel the mystery back on land, an unscrupulous local politician threatens to uncover a secret that could cost Carina the coveted Miami Beach police chief job and tear her world apart. And in this high-stakes world of international corporate takeovers and big money players, catching the elusive killer and avoiding her own personal disaster will take every ounce of intellect and grit that Carina can muster, along with some timely help from former NYPD partner Pete Simpson.
