Sloan McPherson has been a controversial and effective character since her introduction, but in Sea Castle she is dealt one of the most difficult hands ever. The Underwater Investigative Unit (UIU) is part of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, but being as divisive as they are puts them on the edge of extinction.
McPherson is a dedicated public servant who is light years ahead of everyone else in her field, but that doesn’t keep her from answering light night calls when a body is involved. Sloan responds to a mysterious death on a beach locally that has law enforcement scrambling for answers. Because of McPhersons brashness and sometimes unorthodox techniques, no one wants her UIU team working under their banner. This leads to Sloan teaming up with a unique and serious Miami Detective by the name of Gwen Wylder.
As the team of Wylder and McPherson are on the hunt for clues, another young woman goes missing in North Carolina. The mysterious surroundings of Carla Burgh’s disappearance and magical reappearance lead Sloan and Gwen on a road trip that changes the entire outlook of the story. Pulling all the stops out, Gwen and Sloan track down another woman who was mentally ‘kidnapped’ only to have their case stalled and misdirected many different ways. McPherson must weather the storm and team up with one of the most dynamic personalities on the force to bring those responsible for the murder of another young woman.
Sloan McPherson is tenacious and unwavering, leaving worry behind to find justice in Sea Castle. Andrew Mayne keeps you glued to the pages with lives at risk and psychopaths on the loose. The buildup to the final run is very tame and tempered while the answers to your questions are seemingly in front of you the whole time. Mayne also shows the selflessness and unwavering dedication that local law enforcement emulates day after day in our respective communities. Bleeding fierceness and truth, Mayne has another great book on his hands.
