About Above Board

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. ABOVE BOARD A Weird & Whacky Florida Mystery When a luxury yacht explodes off the Florida Gulf Coast, everyone calls it an accident. Danny "Gumbo" Malone calls it nonsense. What starts as a routine inquiry into a suspicious boating disaster quickly spirals into a sun-scorched maze of crooked developers, shady marina deals, offshore shell companies, and a cast of Gulf Coast eccentrics who are anything but "above board." From Sarasota docks to backwater dive bars, Gumbo finds himself knee-deep in a high-stakes conspiracy involving real estate fraud, insurance scams, political corruption, and enough buried secrets to sink a fleet. As bodies stack up and the pressure mounts, Gumbo must untangle a web of financial deception, waterfront greed, and small-town power players who don't appreciate questions. Between cartel whispers, backroom deals, and a few wildly unhinged locals, staying alive becomes its own full-time job. In Florida, the sunshine hides rot just beneath the surface. And this time, the tide is coming in red. Packed with sharp dialogue, offbeat humor, fast-paced action, and a heavy dose of Florida noir atmosphere, ABOVE BOARD delivers a hardboiled private investigator thriller with a weird coastal twist. Perfect for fans of gritty Gulf Coast crime fiction, eccentric Southern mysteries, and sun-drenched suspense.
