Synopsis

In 2010, a diver by the name of Ben McDaniel was last seen diving at Vortex Spring in Ponce de Leon, Florida. Someone noticed his truck was parked in the lot, but no one had seen Ben in two days. Rob Neto was one of the divers called out to go into the cave at Vortex Spring to look for Ben's body. He went to the end of the cave where it gets too small for anyone to fit. The body wasn't the cave. Fourteen years later, no one knows what happened to Ben McDaniel.

Beyond the Grate is a thriller that explores one possible explanation for the disappearance of Ben McDaniel. Could this story be true?

From Beyond the Grate readers

I often felt the panic and intensity of the situation and had to stop reading to get my bearings and remind myself that it was only a book.
Beyond the Grate by Rob Neto is a fast-paced thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
The story thread is skillfully woven, creating a web of suspense and intrigue.
An expert diver himself, Neto really knows how to take his readers to the murky yet wondrous depths.
I found myself holding my breath in suspense as Joey finds himself in a variety of dangerous situations.
I found myself thinking, "well, maybe this fictional account isn't all that far from the truth" as I sped through my copy in two days.
I've had to put my Kindle down several times because I felt anxiety creeping in, even though it's a real page-turner.

I already read the first chapter and I'm hooked - From a reader at an event who returned to my table after purchasing my book earlier in the evening.

* * *

Far inside a dark underwater cave someone placed a grate to keep divers out of the reaches beyond. But the grate doesn’t keep everyone out.

Joey Simmons had only recently gotten scuba certified. But he was already doing dives far more advanced than his skill level - cave diving, decompression diving, deep diving in the Gulf of Mexico in the middle of the night. Part of this was out of his own carelessness. Part of it was because he was being manipulated.

Read what happens when Joey makes an unexpected discovery and naively tells someone he thinks he can trust, only to find himself in a position where he is forced to lie to his parents, lie to the police, and lie to the woman he has fallen in love with. All while also having to protect her from the same evil man that is controlling Joey.

Inspired by true events.
