FLORIDA CONFIDENTIAL

Three deadly summers. Three elite enclaves. One tangled web of ambition, betrayal, and murder. 

Florida Confidential is a character-driven mystery series set in the world of coastal Florida’s private clubs—before social media turned every scandal into public sport—where wealth, loyalty, and reputation exist in a fragile ecosystem built on discretion.

Each novel pulls back the curtain on a different exclusive enclave—tennis clubs, yacht clubs, and polo fields—where reputation is currency, old rivalries have long memories, and one carefully buried lie can destroy everything.

Part literary mystery, part emotional slow-burn, the series blends the sharp social tension of The White Lotus, the layered family drama of The Perfect Couple, and the sun-drenched intrigue of Camino Island.

Because in these circles, the rich rarely fall. They disappear.

THE PALMS

Second Serve, First Blood

An elite Florida tennis club becomes the center of a murder investigation when a rising young pro is found dead—exposing rivalries, ambition, and long-buried grudges among the club’s most powerful members.

Money can buy silence. But not forever.

 THE BET

Fair Winds. Foul Play.

At one of Florida’s most exclusive yacht clubs, an old wager resurfaces during the height of the summer sailing season—drawing a tight circle of members back into a rivalry they thought had been buried years ago.

But when someone ends up dead, the club’s polished traditions begin to fracture, exposing old loyalties, private resentments, and the dangerous consequences of a bet no one was ever supposed to collect.

 Some wagers are never settled.

 THE FIELDS

Fast Horses, Slow Poison

Inside Florida’s rarefied polo world—where billionaires, dynasties, and international players collide—a sudden death threatens to expose the brutal power struggles hidden beneath the sport’s elegant surface.

In a game built on control, someone just lost it.
