At 9:39, not far from underwater investigator Hannah Sampson's boat, it nosedives into the water.

With her relationship floundering, a hurricane bearing down, a nine-year-old survivor thrust into her care, and a body found tangled in the mangroves, Hannah must find the answers to the crash.

As evidence accumulates and threats become deadly, Hannah finds herself fighting for more than simple justice and in too deep… Praise
