Throwaways

(New book by Elliott Light)

The body of a young girl drifts over a reef where Jake Savage is photographing lionfish, beautiful brown-striped creatures with feathery pectoral fins that could almost make one forget their venomous spines. For an instant, Jake thinks she might be watching him, but she has no snorkel or mask. She isn’t wearing a swimsuit, but rather is clad in only a shirt and panties. And she can’t have looked at him because she has no eyes. What has this child done to die so young, to be forgotten and left to drift until consumed by the creatures of the sea?

A voice whispers to let her go, but he can’t leave her to the whim of the
wind and tide… a simple decision with deadly consequences.

story could have been ripped from many of today’s headlines.” Chuck Rieger.

“The reader is kept on the edge, wondering whom to trust. The story is
filled with empathy, hope, and loss. One of the best thrillers–you won’t be
able to put down.” Carol Lynn Luck
