Abandon Ship

The engine is still running. The propeller is still turning. And abandoning ship might be more dangerous than staying aboard.

As smoke fills the deck and the fuel locker begins to heat, Wavey, Sue, Paul, Felisha, Captain Thompson, and the ship’s cook Frank have seconds to get into the water — and even less time to figure out how to survive once they’re in it. One wrong move near the hull could be fatal. One person’s instinct to go back below could be the only thing that saves them all.

Abandon Ship is a tightly wound maritime thriller about split-second decisions, quiet courage, and the overlooked danger hiding in plain sight on every boat that’s ever left the dock. Fans of close-call survival stories and character-driven suspense will race through this one in a single sitting.

Series 003 in the Turner Mystery collection — a standalone story that can be read and enjoyed on its own.
