Cayman Heat

Wealth, Power, Privilege.

Multi-millionaire Houston attorney Reese Mallory and his wife, Lynn, had all of that and much more. But when they and their four best friends decide to take a spur of the moment trip to the Mallory's palatial Grand Cayman home, no one could have imagined that Reese would mysteriously disappear on the group's scuba diving trip to Cayman's famed and dangerous North Wall.

Two years later, Reese's scuba gear-clad skeletal remains are found tied to a piece of coral deep in an underwater cave on the North Wall. Within days of the grisly discovery, bodies begin turning up on the island after the news is released that Reese didn't just disappear... he was murdered.

Grand Cayman's hottest expat private investigator, Koral Sanders, is called into the investigation by her good friend, Royal Caymanian Police Chief Aron Ebanks, to help track down the killer. Koral's life spirals down an explosive and deadly trail of greed, deception, adultery, and big Texas money from Houston to Grand Cayman to find out who wanted Reese Mallory dead and why.
