Tropic Angel

Former Blackhawk pilot Luke Angel wants nothing more than to enjoy the easy life he’s found in coastal Florida. He’s got a seaplane business, a well-trained dog, and a crew of loyal and lovable weirdos to throw back margaritas with. But when a plane belonging to a friend goes missing from Luke’s airport, local detectives are understandably baffled. Clues are scattered from the Keys to the far side of the Gulf of Mexico, and Luke may be the only one with the connections to piece the puzzle back together.

The case rips open old family tensions for Luke and the woman he once loved. When his twelve-year-old niece gets dragged into the danger, Luke finds himself facing down elements of his past he thought long buried.

Dipping his floats into murky water has Luke tangling with deadly people who’d love nothing more than to clip his wings.

He’ll have to fly fast if he wants to protect the people he loves, or he’ll end up at the bottom of the bay.

Praise for the book

  • "Well, I just devoured his book Tropic Angel. I don’t know if you guys know how obsessed I was with Clive Cussler adventure books while growing up. But Tropic Angel gave me all those vibes! It’s a coastal aviation adventure that made me laugh, gave me goosebumps, and also made me demand more books so I can find out if a reconciliation is inevitable between the snarky pilot hero and the ex-wife he clearly still has feelings for! If you like adventure, mystery, and wise-cracking, pining heroes, I think you’ll enjoy Tropic Angel!"
