Bombshell: Ava Butler 1 — A What Doesn't Kill You Super Series Mystery

For fans of Sandra Brown, Karin Slaughter, and Elin Hilderbrand — Caribbean noir with heart, heat, and a protagonist who refuses to stay down.

Ava Butler is thirty-one, a single mother, a temp worker, and one of the most compelling voices her new producer has ever heard. She is also, as of this week, a reluctant FBI informant — blackmailed into wearing a wire inside the cryptocurrency company where she works, in exchange for not being charged with a murder she didn't commit.

The body that started everything was a girl Ava used to babysit. Then a second turns up dead. Then a third. All three were dancers. All three were strangled with no forensic evidence. And all three, Ava realizes with a chill she can't shake, were the same girls she tried to protect at St. Mary's Catholic school twenty years ago — when a priest with wandering hands taught her that some men believe women exist for their use.

Now Ava is navigating a corrupt FBI agent who uses blackmail as a management tool, a boss she genuinely likes and has to betray, a cryptocurrency front for guns, drugs, and human trafficking, and a killer who is one step ahead of everyone. The islands are beautiful and the nights are dangerous and someone just put a bomb under her car.

On the same day her song goes viral and Aphrodite Records calls with a life-changing offer, she gets another call. From her doctor. The kind that changes everything in a completely different direction.

Bombshell is sharp, fast, and impossible to put down. Part Caribbean noir, part thriller, part love letter to women who refuse to stay down.

She came to the islands to build a life. Someone wanted to make sure she didn't finish it.
