Dead Slow: Chase Gordon Tropical Thriller Book 13

A body in the water is just the beginning.

When Chase Gordon pulls a lifeless woman from the water behind the Tilly Marina, he figures his day can't get much worse. But the slit throat tells a different story.

Before the police even learn her name, Chase is dragged deep into the shadows of West Palm Beach, where high-society cocktails mix with low-rent crime, and favors come with bloody price tags. What looks like a single murder quickly reveals itself as something far worse: a human trafficking ring operating just beyond the reach of the law—and hiding in plain sight.

Now Chase is caught between a widening investigation, a circle of powerful enemies, and a growing list of people who want him out of the picture. In a city wherejustice is currency, and no one plays fair, Chase will have to rely on his instincts, his Marine grit, and a few questionable allies to make it out alive.

Dead Slow, the latest entry in the Chase Gordon Tropical Thriller Series, is a gritty, salt-soaked noir that pulls back the curtain on Florida’s darkest corners. Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, John D. MacDonald, and coastal crime fiction with a pulse, it delivers:

• A rugged, justice-driven ex-Marine with nothing to lose

• A high-stakes murder mystery with dark criminal undercurrents

• Yacht clubs, dive bars, and corrupt corridors of power

• Fast-paced action set in the sunlit shadows of South Florida

If you like your thrillers sharp, smart, and soaked in atmosphere, Dead Slow belongs at the top of your list.
