42 & THE OCEAN BLUE

On a foggy San Francisco morning, Captain Buddy Skella sails The Ocean Blue out of Pier 39 with forty-two souls aboard. The passengers are a mix of tourists, business travelers, and locals—each with secrets of their own. What begins as a routine voyage across the Pacific quickly turns into a nightmare when one passenger is found brutally murdered.  

Captain Skella must hold his crew and passengers together while unraveling the truth. But with the killer still among them, the price of failure is more than the ship’s survival—it’s forty-one more lives.  42 & The Ocean Blue is a gripping maritime murder mystery where the sea is as dangerous as the secrets it conceals. Fans of locked-room mysteries, survival thrillers, and storm-lashed tales will find themselves swept into a relentless voyage of suspicion, courage, and justice.
