Almost a hundred years ago, a major terrestrial event reshaped the earth’s coastlines. Goodbye entire cities. Goodbye entire states. Goodbye entire countries. And when the authorities outlawed salvaging from these sunken sites, why say hello to a new breed of criminal: underwater reclamation specialists. Even a hundred years later, there’s still a whole lot of loot for the reclaiming.
Her father executed. A gun to Charlie’s head. One week.
Tick Tock.
After witnessing her father’s execution, Isa finds herself stripped of her tools, her allies, and alone in a foreign country’s custody. When an orchestrated escape opportunity presents itself, she leaps without looking.
Now free and hunted on all sides, she’s forced into an unexpected alliance with her enemies: disgraced Cleaners. And, if that weren’t enough, the path to redemption leads straight through that oily snake Ham—desperation makes for strange bedfellows.
Thrown into a tangle of vipers, Isa must navigate hidden agendas, false identities, and a vortex of prima-donna personalities, least of which is Puo’s, all while making sure she steers the ship straight into the heart of the National Syndicate.
The National Syndicate murdered her father. They kidnapped Charlie. They will never stop coming for her. She needs to deal with them once and for all.
Sunken City Capers is a fun post-apocalyptic series with no zombies, just criminals and mischievous ne’er-do-wells. Fans of heist novels/movies and strong female protagonists will likely enjoy this series.
