Free Dive - Emma Shelford

. .

Résumé :
Sea monsters have no place in modern science. Try telling them that. Corrie loves being a marine biologist, even if research money is a constant struggle. But studying sea anemones isn't as ground-breaking as the mermaid she saw. She can't tell anyone-one slip of her overactive tongue, and Corrie's career would tank faster than a submarine. When mysterious free diver Zeballos offers her his ship to collect samples, cash-strapped Corrie eagerly sets sail. A bizarre fish jumps over the bow, hinting at answers to Corrie's tantalizing questions, but she's not the only hunter. A desperate drug dealer is hellbent on exploiting the rare sea creatures, and he'll do anything to stop Corrie from stealing his product. Together, Corrie and Zeballos navigate dangerous waters, dodge ruthless fishermen, and dive into uncharted knowledge. Still, mysteries layer on mysteries. Why is secretive Zeballos so fascinated by the rare fish? And what disturbed nightmares will hunt them from the depths of the ocean?

Biographie:
Emma Shelford feels that life is only complete with healthy doses of magic, history, and science. Since these aren't often found in the same place, she created her own worlds where they happily coexist. If you catch her in person, she will eagerly discuss Lord of the Rings ad nauseam, why the ancient Sumerians are so cool, and the important role of phytoplankton in the ocean.

Emma is the author of the Nautilus Legends (a marine biologist discovers that mythical sea creatures are real), Magical Morgan (Morgan switches bodies and finds herself possessed by an elemental spirit), Immortal Merlin (Merlin is immortal, forever young, and living in the modern day), and the Breenan Series (a young woman follows a mysterious stranger into an enchanting Otherworld).
