The Sapphire Flamingo

By J.E. McBee

During a fundraising event at her expansive Florida home, Gretchen Schiller is the victim of a brazen theft. The wealthy philanthropist is confident she knows the identity of the thief and hires a mysterious hacker known only as Headfake to confirm her suspicions. Meanwhile, Hector Morales becomes the target of a hate campaign, a direct assault on his First Amendment right of freedom of expression that has its origins in the governor's mansion in Tallahassee. When the local police department response is feeble and short-lived, Morales hires prominent Tampa attorney Judy Ruliani who devises an alternative plan to help keep his family safe from harm. Finally, Zach Rheinhart has yet to recover from the kidnapping and murder of his girlfriend, Gwen Westphal, former Olympic gold medalist and well-known environmentalist activist, three years earlier. He's lost his job and is about to lose his home when a determined group of his friends bands together to try to help him get back on his feet. Set during the summer of 2023 and stretching from Florida's Gulf Coast to the tropical island paradise of Sri Lanka, The Sapphire Flamingo is a page-turning mystery filled with cutting-edge social commentary regarding life as we've come to know it in the post-pandemic world.
