Salt Island (E&A Investigations, book 2) by Lisa Towles EPUB
Having established their new official partnership, the private investigation team of Mari Ellwyn and Derek Abernathy are tested to the extreme with two new cases involving high-stakes corporate espionage and eco-terrorism. Someone is trying to sabotage billionaire CEO Jack Darcy's IPO deal and reputation, and now his glamorous wife - media darling and entrepreneur, has gone missing. Thryve, Darcy's high-profile environmental startup, is lauded by investors as one of the best innovators of the decade. But a journalist has learned Darcy's dirty little secret and is hell-bent on exposing it to investors and the world at large.
Pulled from their Southern California headquarters, Derek heads to the Central Valley to investigate two suspicious deaths from an explosion on a local farm. The deeper he digs, the more questions emerge about what the murdered farm workers may have witnessed - toxic chemical dumping linked to an oil and gas company. A shadow witness is gathering evidence but disappears before Derek can get to her. As Mari considers her next move in a much broader conspiracy of corporate corruption and environmental abuse, her partner's gone undercover to find the missing witness, and now he's off-grid.
Mari must reckon with powerful ghosts from her past - her missing father and the truth about his double identity and secret agenda. She embarks on her own investigation to the British Virgin Islands, one of her father's secret haunts during his time as an active CIA operative, and uncovers details too painful to bear - about her father, herself, and her future.
