This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In a world of priceless art, opulent yachts, and oceanic galas, Amanda Edge is more than just an art dealer—she’s an art detective. When a Gustav Klimt masterpiece vanishes, she embarks on a perilous quest that plunges her into Miami's elite art scene and beyond. In her hunt to recover the stolen painting, she joins forces with Daniel, the director overseeing a futuristic underwater habitat, as well as Gabrielle, renowned for her innovative yacht designs. Amanda's expertise leads the investigation through the art underworld and its uncharted waters of forgeries and priceless art thefts. Daniel and Gabrielle are haunted by a series of unsettling deaths they suspect are far from accidental. Their specialized maritime knowledge and skills become invaluable as the trio delves deeper into a whirlpool of mystery and danger. The trio’s paths become entangled with a secretive individual—known publicly as a philanthropist focused on ocean preservation—but covertly, he may be the mastermind of an illicit art syndicate. As they wade closer to their respective clues, they must navigate a complex tempest of intrigue, deception, and murder. If they fail, unsolved killings will remain a dark secret, and a tidal wave of theft and fraud risks engulfing the art world. Just when they think they're on the cusp of exposing the criminal mastermind and solving their interlocking mysteries, their investigation leads them into the foreboding waters of the Bermuda Triangle. In this treacherous zone, the boundary between the natural and supernatural dissolves, revealing an unfathomable energy that threatens anyone who encroaches upon its waters, rendering all human intentions, noble or nefarious, inconsequential in the face of the abyss.
