Georgina’s Grief, the new Chris Green novel
Okay, I haven’t posted Georgina’s Grief to the website yet with the full first chapter, but I will do that soon. It is available on Amazon.com and in Kindle format, and I will have it at the Homestead Book Fair Saturday in Losner Park from 1-5 p.m. In the meantime, I’ll give you the basic story line.
Chris Green, the freelance underwater investigator, is back in the Bahamas working on their Spanish Galleon treasure site. Their only paying passenger for this trip is Marty Gradeaux from New Orleans. Chris gets a call from Clay Roget in New Orleans with a very lucrative offer for a short-notice job that involves what seems to be an unusual amount of secrecy and the mention of possibly a second job. While her instincts are correct about the initial case, what she doesn’t expect is to also receive a visit from a police detective who works organized crime cases. Even though she is not personally involved, that takes her close to one of the lines that she doesn’t usually cross. Her new client assures her that the second case won’t include conversations with the police. On the other hand, he doesn’t know the secrets as to what happened fifteen years prior when a yacht disappeared with everyone of board. The short search for it was interrupted and what happened remained a mystery.
The “Georgina” of the book is Georgina Baker was only ten years old when her father, a rising rock star, was lost in the accident and her life plunged into ongoing tragedy. Now a young woman of almost twenty-five, she feels that if the yacht could at least be located, it might bring her some level of comfort. The truth of that night is known to only a few people, and one of them is determined that the secret will stay hidden.
For those who have read Shades of Truth, there is the similar element of the reader knows early on what happened, but not how the story unfolds or the twists built in to the plot.
And yes, this time, I was able to use one of hubby’s underwater photos for the cover. The colorful shot was taken on the wrecks in St Croix.
