“K.T. Konkoly knocks it out of the park with her debut thriller, Adrift! Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Portland, Maine, we’re introduced to Kari Sharpe—a sharp, determined private attorney with a past as a Navy JAG. Kari is a sympathetic, relatable heroine who’s overcome a dysfunctional, alcoholic upbringing to build a successful legal career. She’s back in Maine to help her troubled brother Jimmy, a lobsterman working out of Portland Harbor. Having sacrificed a prestigious job in NYC, Kari is second-guessing her decision—until she’s pulled into the murder case of Irene Simmons, a Bath Iron Works employee. The prime suspect? Petty Officer First Class Youseff Ahmed. From there, Adrift surges into a layered mystery involving murdered tourists, fuel theft, and corruption within the justice system. Konkoly masterfully balances Kari’s point-of-view with those of other characters, crafting a rich narrative tapestry. Portland comes alive in gritty, atmospheric detail, and Kari’s complex family history is seamlessly woven into the plot. The dialogue crackles with authenticity, and the action builds to a riveting, explosive climax. Adrift is a strong series opener and a stellar debut. I can’t wait to follow Kari Sharpe on her next case.”—Joeseph Souza, award-winning author of The Neighbor
