Body Shots

Kennedy Bracken, scuba diving the Belize barrier reef, witnesses and photographs sharks in a feeding frenzy, their target a young woman's body. Minutes later, alone at sea, Bracken is left with little more than bad memories, morbid photos, and questions about the woman who will never again be seen.

As a retired accident investigator obsessed with death resolution, Bracken is compelled to learn who she was and how she died. It's good news that Belize police use the best of Bracken's partial-face photos to identify the accidental-death victim, but details in other photos force Bracken to discount the who, where, and how of the official story.

Bracken recruits Sarah McGarrity, his vacationing, Denver-based, almost fiancée, and the self-appointed detectives dig deep, follow evidence, and look for answers-only to exhume a truth more brutal than the sharks.
