SKYWAY

The bridge fell at 7:33. The lies took longer.

Tess Callahan did four years for a crime she didn't commit. She came out with a cardboard box, a bus ticket and one rule: mind your own business.

Two years later she lives on a battered charter boat in Pass-a-Grille, Florida, drowning in debt and trusting no one. Then the man who let her go to prison walks back into her life after six years of silence. He leaves her a bag containing $1.84 million in cash, a kilo of cocaine and a notebook full of names: judges, deputies and politicians, and a list of people who were "closed."

The next morning, at 7:33, in a blinding storm, a freighter strikes the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and more than a thousand feet of roadway falls into Tampa Bay.

His car is pulled from the water. His wallet is in the dead man's pocket.

But the body inside is not his.

Now a crooked cop, a killer who leaves no trace and the most beloved man in Pinellas County all want what Tess is hiding, and they know exactly where to hurt her. Somewhere out there is the daughter she held for forty-one minutes before signing her away. They have her picture. They know her street.

With a grieving diver who has his own reasons to hunt the truth, Tess has seventy-two hours to find out who really died on that bridge, who is lying to her, and how far she will go to protect a child who doesn't even know her name.

Because everyone she trusts is hiding something.
And the fall was only the beginning.

Inspired by the real 1980 Sunshine Skyway Bridge disaster, SKYWAY is a pulse-pounding thriller of love, money, betrayal and survival, set against the heat, storms and secrets of Florida's Gulf Coast.
