The Stowaway's Deadly Secret
(2026)(The first book in the Sara Rasmussen Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Trina Larsen
A murder at sea. A stowaway. A ship full of secrets.
Sara Rasmussen expected her first voyage as SeaScan's cultural storyteller to be filled with Nordic legends — not a corpse in a locked room.
Loki, the ship's Labrador, noses out a stowaway with a chilling warning, Now Sara finds herself in a mystery far more dangerous than any tale she's ever told.
She reads people: noticing the pause before the answer, the smile that arrives a second too late, the moment when something real shows through. And nothing on this ship is adding up.
With her sharp-witted aunt on Zoom and her four-legged companion leading her to doors she shouldn't open, Sara begins charting her own course to the truth.
Trapped at sea with a killer among them, Sara must navigate a growing list of suspects: a grieving socialite, a perceptive professor, and a crew whose carefully managed routines hide something darker.
As clues surface—missing jewelry, failing systems, and vanishing footage—one thing becomes clear.
Someone is watching her.
And if Sara doesn’t uncover the truth, she may not make it off the ship alive.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
