Cold Blood, Hot Sea

"Artfully mixing scientific detail with her characters' personal struggles, Charlene D'Avanzo creates a tense story that makes it clear: when profits are favored over health of the planet, we are all at risk."
--JOEANN HART

As she investigates, Mara becomes entangled in a scheme involving powerful energy executives with much to lose if her department colleagues continue their climate change research. Mara's career--and life--is on the line, threatened by intrigue as big and dark as the ocean.
