Sawgrass Grave

She has a temper, a sailboat, and a murder case she probably shouldn't have taken.

Brie Broussard was a rising prosecutor—until one case got an innocent kid killed and took everything else with it: her marriage, her career, her faith in the system. Now she's a mitigation investigator scraping by on insurance fraud, living on a sailboat she can barely afford, and skating roller derby on the weekends because the bruises are easier than the grief.

Her newest client is Niko Moreno, owner of Miami's hottest nightclub, accused of decapitating his manager and leaving her body in the Everglades for the alligators. He swears he's innocent—and won't talk about his past, his enemies, or the cocaine someone planted in his car.

Brie's investigation pulls her through back-alley motels, the Miami underworld, and a dead woman's secrets that hit too close to home. Everyone connected to Niko has something to hide—his disbarred business manager, the cartel circling him like vultures, even his conveniently pro bono attorney. And the more Brie learns about the victim, the more this case starts to echo the one that broke her.

Brie is closing in on the killer. The killer's already digging her a sawgrass grave.

Perfect for fans of Tami Hoag and Lisa Gardner, Sawgrass Grave is a gritty Miami crime series debut with a heroine who's too stubborn to stop and too sharp to ignore.
