Night Diver: A Novel
Rife with deep-sea diving and salvage terminology and interesting facts, Lowell’s latest tale of romantic suspense, after Reckless Love (2013), swirls around a grandfather and his grandchildren’s attempt to save the family’s treasure-recovery business as it sinks into the red. After watching her mother and father drown when she was a teen, accountant Kate reluctantly agrees to return to the Golden Bough, the primary vessel of the Diving Donnellys, when her grandfather and brother ask for her help. Arriving at the island of St. Vincent, she is appalled at how desperately her grandfather and brother need to fulfill their British government contract, and how distrusting the Brits are about their operation. In fact, they’ve sent retired diver Holden Cameron to oversee the Donnelly’s work, since the Brits suspect someone is stealing the gold and jewels the divers bring up. Added to the drama is a tropical storm that’s about to descend and shut down the dive. Lowell brings her reader-pleasing, heart-pounding gift for adventure and sizzling romance to the eerie depths of the ocean. --Pat Henshaw
