Sisters, a yacht charter, and a family’s wreckage

Captain Denise has built her career aboard Caribbean yachts by keeping owners at a distance. That rule gets complicated when her estranged sister Helen joins her crew and their first charter brings them face to face with the Falcon family, whose developers destroyed the sisters’ childhood home. After a building collapse and the discovery of a nearby body, the sisters investigate the family’s dealings as a storm threatens to erase evidence. The setup ties a strained sibling relationship to questions of real estate corruption, workplace tensions, and life aboard a luxury yacht.

Book overview

**NATIONAL BESTSELLER**

"A spirited romp on the Caribbean seas, Salty is an upstairs-downstairs tale with Kate Myers' signature colorful characters and a setting to die for. For fans of Below Deck and beyond, Salty belongs in your beach bag this summer. A fun and frothy treat!" --Rachel Koller Croft, USA Today bestselling author of Stone Cold Fox and We Love the Nightlife

From the bestselling author of Excavations, a hilarious page-turner about two estranged sisters who reunite to take down the luxury yacht owner who destroyed their childhood home--and might be responsible for the dead body next door.

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 for 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.

"[A] whip-smart, darkly hilarious tale of sibling rivalry, real estate corruption and high seas adventure. And rest assured, the ending is satisfyingly wild." --Bookpage (starred review)
