Artist and amateur sleuth Leila Goodfriend escapes to a remote Caribbean island paradise expecting an idyllic scuba diving holiday with Detective John Grace—her partner in romance and criminal investigation. But beneath the island’s turquoise waters and sunlit charm, sinister forces are at work.

As Leila is suiting up for her first scuba dive at Captain Bob’s Dive Shop, she overhears shop employees whispering about a local diver who was fished out of the ocean after he had a seizure and drowned. It was just gossip, she thinks, but it turns out that this suspicious scuba death isn’t the only one.

Exploring downtown, Leila encounters Elvis, a friendly, dreadlocked barista, at a hole in the wall joint called Java Java. She finds herself drawn by Elvis into a dangerous plan, stumbling on evidence linking corruption and crime to the deaths of several local young men—including Raoul, the brother of Maritsa Kroon, a beautiful young woman scarred by violence and terrified of retaliation.

As Leila’s suspicions deepen, the list of suspects grows. Someone in the shadows is clearly pulling the strings. As she closes in on the truth, she questions whether her own dive emergency was really an accident—and even fears Detective Grace may be involved.

You’ll love Death In Cerulean, a cleverly twisted eco-thriller with deceit, drugs, money-laundering and murder at every turn on a vacation gone horribly wrong.
