ABOVE BOARD
A Weird & Whacky Florida Mystery
When a luxury yacht explodes off the Florida Gulf Coast, everyone calls it an accident.
Danny Gumbo Malone calls it nonsense.
What starts as a routine inquiry into a suspicious boating disaster quickly spirals into a sun-scorched maze of crooked developers, shady marina deals, offshore shell companies, and a cast of Gulf Coast eccentrics who are anything but above board. From Sarasota docks to backwater dive bars, Gumbo finds himself knee-deep in a high-stakes conspiracy involving real estate fraud, insurance scams, political corruption, and enough buried secrets to sink a fleet.
As bodies stack up and the pressure mounts, Gumbo must untangle a web of financial deception, waterfront greed, and small-town power players who don't appreciate questions. Between cartel whispers, backroom deals, and a few wildly unhinged locals, staying alive becomes its own full-time job.
In Florida, the sunshine hides rot just beneath the surface.
And this time, the tide is coming in red.
Packed with sharp dialogue, offbeat humor, fast-paced action, and a heavy dose of Florida noir atmosphere, ABOVE BOARD delivers a hardboiled private investigator thriller with a weird coastal twist. Perfect for fans of gritty Gulf Coast crime fiction, eccentric Southern mysteries, and sun-drenched suspense.
