Paperback. An engineered biological catastrophe. A $254 million barrier-island land grab. And undeniable metallurgical proof that Ray Spooner's dead mentor is alive.August 1995. A suffocating bloom of Karenia brevis red tide chokes thirty miles of the Florida Suncoast, filling the air with neurotoxic aerosol and driving Mom-and-Pop beachfront motels into sudden insolvency. When Frank and Maria Rossi of the historic Lido Sands Motel are hit with an accelerated disaster-default foreclosure by developer Donald Palmer's banking syndicate, marine forensic auditor Ray Spooner samples the dead water.The bloom isn't natural. Working with coerced marine biochemist Dr. Elena Whitaker, Cortez waterman Artie Whittaker, and Lloyd's adjuster Beverly Burns, Ray traces a plume of synthetic orthophosphate and barium catalysts to a covert subsea pipeline running out of Port Manatee and an offshore command barge, the Apex Venture-all timed to trigger $254 million in catastrophe swaps and seize thirty-two barrier-island parcels by Friday's court deadline.Then Ray inspects a seized chemical transport rig at the county impound yard and finds a custom 4140 chromoly tension-hitch machined with a spiral shell-mill signature and a three-percent shear-pin tolerance that only one man on earth could cut: Leo McAniff.To save the coast and clear the water before the foreclosure gavel falls, Ray must board the heavily armed Apex Venture in a midnight Gulf squall, reverse its industrial slurry manifolds, and descend into a flooding double-bottom hull void to disarm eighty pounds of military C-4.RED TIDE is the explosive third volume in the Circle of Tides series-combining environmental forensics, financial warfare, and relentless underwater suspense. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

As a massive, toxic red tide algae bloom chokes the Suncoast, painting the Gulf waters a bruised plum and leaving thousands of dead fish rotting in the canals, Ray Spooner is called to audit a high-tech marine laboratory on Lido Key. A brilliant marine biologist has disappeared, along with millions of dollars in federal research grants and a highly classified surveillance technology designed for deep-water tracking.
While the media blames the scientist's flight on the ecological disaster, Ray’s diagnostic mind focuses on the laboratory’s electronic infrastructure. Using a Tektronix analog oscilloscope, he detects a subtle three-percent carrier wave offset—a tiny outlier margin in the lab's marine transmission lines—tracing a hidden telemetry link deep into the Myakka River swamps.
Maya Spooner uses her marine biology background to guide Ray through the suffocating, tea-colored waters of the mangroves, dodging both the toxic red tide and armed tactical sweeps from a private security firm. The trail leads to a clandestine, off-grid repeater network designed to route black-market surveillance data. Ray must expose the shadow network before the toxic tide sweeps away the evidence forever.
