Meredith cavallo is a mate on The Luna Sea, a scuba boat in Key Largo. When a distressed diver tells of seeing a ghost under the water, no one believes him. Ishmael Styx hears about the possible ghost encounter and wants to hire The Luna Sea for a night dive as part of a documentary. During the moonless night, Amber, an inexperienced diver, panics while taking photos. Mer must take her back to the boat and asks about Ishmael, the crew tells her he has not returned. Mer goes back down looking for him. All she finds is his glowstick and mask. Detective Josh Talbot lists her as a suspect. Selkie, an old flame and current neighbor helps Mer track down evidence after an attack on her life.

The book has a steady pace, the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. The author does a good job describing the landscape and feeling of the Florida Keys. If you are looking for a solid mystery, you will enjoy this book.
