An Ordinary Drowning, Book One Of The Mermaid's Pendant - Plot & Excerpts
He sat down again, hard, on the stony shore. His heart seized up and he flushed hot and cold before it resumed beating. Turning to look at the canal, he thought that he saw his snorkel floating north but the fractured sunlight dazzled him and he couldn’t be sure. His second flipper and mask had disappeared into the deceptive water. The shaking intensified. He’d almost lost his life in an out-of-the-way corner of the Caribbean. The silence of the empty shore confirmed how fantastic his rescue had been. Maybe his rescuer was still close. The thought impelled him to his feet and a mad, yet fruitless, search of the scrub around the shore. Whatever girl? woman? superwoman? had pulled him to safety must have hightailed it along the path back to Carlos Rosario. Or maybe there was access from the nearby Tamarindo Estates. Zoë would have stood over him, hands on hips and smirk on lips, until he’d stumbled upright with his head hanging. Frustration filled him, drowning his shock. He couldn’t remember what she looked like.
