Soar into the high-flying world of suspense, danger, and unforgettable characters in Nate Van Coops' latest aviation thriller series.
Tropic Angel
Former Blackhawk pilot Luke Angel wants nothing more than to enjoy the easy life he’s found in coastal Florida. He’s got a seaplane business, a well-trained dog, and a crew of loyal and lovable weirdos to throw back margaritas with. But when a plane belonging to a friend goes missing from Luke’s airport, local detectives are understandably baffled. Clues are scattered from the Keys to the far side of the Gulf of Mexico, and Luke may be the only one with the connections to piece the puzzle back together.
The case rips open old family tensions for Luke and the woman he once loved. When his twelve-year-old niece gets dragged into the danger, Luke finds himself facing down elements of his past he thought long buried.
Dipping his floats into murky water has Luke tangling with deadly people who’d love nothing more than to clip his wings.
He’ll have to fly fast if he wants to protect the people he loves, or he’ll end up at the bottom of the bay.
Tropic Descent
Luke Angel is on a routine cargo flight in the Bahamas, anticipating an icy beer waiting for him on the far side, but when a distress call diverts him into a watery landing in the turquoise Caribbean waters, he ends up with a dead pilot and a mysterious unconscious woman on his hands.
The island town of Hooper’s Haven is a refuge for the wealthy and glamorous.
And their secrets.
When his passenger disappears from the local hospital, Luke has more questions than answers about who she really is. Torn between his desire to bug out ahead of deteriorating weather, and his duty to see his passenger safely home, he finds himself walking a knife edge of danger.
Someone has buried their secrets deep in Hooper’s Haven and the more Luke digs, the more likely he is to be the one to end up in the ground. Each unearthed secret ratchets the threat to his passengers and crew sky-high. A killer has struck twice and has the whole island running scared. But Luke Angel never runs when he can fly. And now he’s throttling up for a dogfight.
Strap in for another gripping aviation mystery, with characters you’ll root for, high-flying action, and a wings-on-fire plunge to the finale you won’t want to put down.
