South Pacific Cut - Paperback

by Joshua McKenzie-Brown (Author)

Justice doesn't stop at blue water.

At night, the ocean bleeds.

By morning, sharks wash up without their fins.

And a village that once lived in harmony with the sea now looks the other way.

Leilani is a champion freediver and marine biologist, now working for the Ocean

Enforcement Agency. Sent to the islands of Samoa, she expects illegal fishing. What she uncovers instead

is a silent, industrial-scale slaughter unfolding beyond pristine coral reefs.

Offshore, foreign longliners take shark after shark until dawn on miles of line.

Fins vanish into international markets. Onshore, money floods into quiet villages, eroding tradition and

binding locals into a trade with no exit.

Working with chiefs and navigating shifting allegiances, Leilani races to expose a

black market fed by global demand. But every dive draws attention. Every

question tightens the net.

Because this industry protects itself, and it doesn't leave witnesses.

With cyclone season approaching, can Leilani expose the operation before she becomes the

next victim of the nylon lines?

South Pacific Cut is an international crime thriller set in the South Pacific, where predators

hunt above and below the surface.
