Hip Deep in the Ship
(2026)(Book 12 in the Patricia Fisher: Ship's Detective series)
A novel by Steve Higgs
Something is very wrong on board.
A series of daring robberies hits the ship, each of them slick, silent, and disturbingly well planned. No witnesses. No clear suspects. And no mistakes Patricia Fisher can pin down.
Everyone assumes it’s a simple case of theft. Patricia isn't so sure.
As she digs into the incidents, a troubling pattern begins to emerge. One that suggests the criminal isn’t just stealing valuables, but testing the waters. Watching. Adjusting. Staying one step ahead. Patricia is certain there’s a missing piece she just can’t see … yet.
With trust stretched thin, tension rising, and the next robbery feeling inevitable, Patricia must uncover what connects the crimes before the ship’s thief strikes again.
Because when a criminal is clever enough to hide in plain sight, the danger isn’t what’s been taken. It’s what they’re planning next.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
