"“A spirited romp on the Caribbean seas, Salty is an upstairs-downstairs tale with Kate Myers' signature colorful characters and a setting to die for. For fans of Below Deck and beyond, Salty belongs in your beach bag this summer. A fun and frothy treat!”—Rachel Koller Croft, USA Today bestselling author of Stone Cold Fox and We Love the Nightlife
From the bestselling author of Excavations, a hilarious page-turner about two estranged sisters who reunite to take down the luxury yacht owner who destroyed their childhood home—and might be responsible for the dead body next door.
Captain Denise is more comfortable facing down a stingray than a party guest, though she’s punched both in recent memory. After spending half her life at the helm of yachts across the Caribbean, she’s risen through the ranks thanks to one rule: never, ever mix with the owners.
Her sister, Helen, is a walking HR violation, one of many reasons the two haven’t seen each other in years. Recently fired after burning all her bridges, Helen returns home to work for Denise.
The clashing sisters’ first charter is for the Falcon family, shady real estate developers who mowed down Helen and Denise’s childhood home to build condos. But then the latest Falcon building collapses—and a dead body turns up beside it. Helen and Denise comb through the wreckage to uncover just how low the Falcons will sink in order to stay afloat—before the big storm wipes out the evidence."

"Funny, smart and deeply delicious." -Amy Poehler • "Witty and acerbic, Myers' debut is humorous and sharply written, as if Aubrey Plaza's April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation decided to write a sun-drenched novel about feminism, friendship, and archeology." -Booklist
On a remote archeological site in Greece, the mythic home of the first Olympics, four women discover an unusual artifact. It's a piece of history that definitely shouldn't exist. And for the head archaeologist in charge, a relic himself, it means something's gone horribly wrong.
Elise, Kara, Z and Patty all find themselves digging here together, but they couldn't be farther apart. Kara's a polished conservator calling off her wedding. Patty and her bowl cut are desperate for love. Millennial Z just got dumped and fired yet again. And Elise, their star excavator, is a lone wolf about to go rogue.
To figure out what they're really digging for, and to topple the man who wants to hide their history, these dirt-crusted colleagues have to become what they've avoided for years-friends. If they put their own messes aside for one summer, they might just make the discovery of a lifetime."
