Book excerpt: Kelli “Gus” Gustafson, the youngest and most determined officer on the Tarpon Springs police force, has a problem most people would love to have: she’s beautiful. Though in her eyes, beauty has always been nothing more than a huge impediment. Although she achieved the highest marksmanship score ever recorded at the Tampa police academy, her chief regards her as just another pretty face—until he unexpectedly promotes her to detective. Her new partner, Gordon “Gordo” Pruitt, is a crass but brilliant detective with the personality of an out of control dumpster fire. Immediately upon accepting her promotion, Gus and Gordo fall into the case of a lifetime. A sunken German U-boat is discovered just offshore of their touristy seaside town. Clues lead to the conclusion that a dangerous secret weapon created by Nazi scientists was placed aboard the U-boat during World War II. Now, the still deadly weapon has just been removed from the U-boat and is hidden somewhere in Tarpon Springs. To make matters worse, terrorists seeking the weapon appear and quickly prove they’re willing to do anything to attain it. Gus must figure out how to best work with her partner and leverage her world-class marksmanship skills to find the weapon and eliminate the bloodthirsty terrorists as the lives of all Americans hang in the balance.
