sailing vacation in the Bahamas, just Elizabeth and Luke and the sparkling blue sea. But for hours now, Elizabeth has been fighting to keep their boat from capsizing as a surprise storm rages. And then...Luke pushes her overboard.

Lessons from a Barracuda is a taut thriller, racing from the Caribbean to the Pacific Northwest to Colorado, where Elizabeth's and Luke's past together resurfaces. Grounding her novel in universal themes drawn from personal and career challenges, author Beth McKnight is free to spike the suspense to riveting heights, crafting a book that does not just entertain but reaches out and connects the reader's heart to Elizabeth's.
