When rising seas drown America’s East Coast, New York City refuses to disappear. Instead, it survives—half-submerged, lawless, and dangerous. In Depth, a million people live among skyscrapers jutting out of the ocean, bound by their own rules and secrets. Among them is Simone Pierce, one of the city’s toughest private investigators.

What begins as a routine surveillance job—a cheating husband and a mysterious blonde—spirals into a deadly nightmare when the husband is found murdered and Simone becomes the prime suspect. Desperate to clear her name, she hunts for the missing woman and uncovers a shadowy network of power brokers, art collectors, and criminals obsessed with a legendary treasure that should not exist.

As Simone dives deeper into the flooded city’s underworld, trust becomes a liability. With danger closing in from every side, she must confront the possibility that the city she loves—and her own memories—are hiding truths more dangerous than any killer.

Dark, atmospheric, and razor-sharp, Depth blends dystopian science fiction with hard-boiled noir, perfect for readers who love submerged cities, morally complex heroes, and high-stakes mysteries.
