Of course, I was right. The second installment, Black Coral, is now out, with no signs of a sophomore slump. Once again Mayne and his sleuths wade into the murky, python-infested waters of South Florida, where the plot runs much faster than the currents.
Mayne s heroine is Sloan McPherson, a diver, sometime grad student in marine archaeology and, now, an officer with Florida s new state Underwater Investigative Unit.
As our story opens, Sloan s doing a favor for the Highway Patrol, recovering a body from a pickup that ran off the road into Pond 65, in the outflow from a nuclear power plant.
