Dead Slow: A Chase Gordon Tropical Thriller (Chase Gordon Tropical Thrillers Book 13)

A body surfaces in a quiet marina.
A young girl is already missing.
And someone doesn’t want questions asked.

When former Marine Chase Gordon pulls a murdered young woman from the water just feet from his slip in West Palm Beach, he expects the police to handle it. But the deeper the investigation goes, the clearer it becomes that the girl was caught in something far darker than a random act of violence—and the people responsible are still hunting their next victim.

As whispers of human trafficking and organized crime surface along Florida’s coast, Chase is drawn into a brutal underworld where predators operate in plain sight and silence is bought with fear. When an innocent girl becomes the next target, Chase is forced to act—alone, unarmed, and against men who don’t hesitate to kill.

Every step forward puts a larger target on his back. Every truth uncovered makes him more dangerous to the wrong people.

But Chase has never been good at slowing down when lives are on the line.

Gritty, atmospheric, and relentless, Dead Slow is a high-stakes thriller where justice moves at its own pace—and stopping means letting evil win.
