More About This Book

Overview

Parker, a lone salvage diver on a deep salt passage from the Bahamas to the Caribbean, rescues a small boy floating in the empty seas off Haiti. He changes course to a rarely visited island reported to have a clinic so he can leave the child and move on.
What this wandering ex-marine encounters instead are a strange research hospital with a threatening mercenary guard force, a horribly scarred doctor and a beautiful administrator, frightened islanders, a shark infested lagoon with a grotesque hammerhead, a sensuous barmaid with a Harvard MBA, a death-filled cargo plane sunk out on the reef...and an uncharacteristic concern for both the barmaid and kid’s welfare.
Parker's reaction to a challenging confrontation has always hinged on whether to stay or leave. And yet, his response to a sticky relationship question invariably results in quietly sailing off into the night. But now he finds himself drawn into a dangerous, oddly tangled and grisly mystery. And it all starts with the women.
In Deep Salt revolves around the very real possibility of Haitian ‘boat people’ being ‘hi-jacked’ at sea. However, these folks have nothing and are destitute. Who would do this? And why? As hundreds and thousands continue to be ‘lost at sea’ attempting to flee to America, no one would miss them. Whatever is going on, it’s a perfect screen for somebody. But who? And for what purpose? Parker can smell trouble. He knows something is wrong. Should he leave the kid on the beach and split? Or not?

Meet the Author

Michael Latta is an ex-New York, Paris, San Francisco advertising agency art director, writer, creative director and published magazine and newspaper writer. His past also includes ex-Navy brat, ex-Marine Corps, ex-race driver, ex-husband, ex-Peace Corps and life long sailor.
During his previous Madison Avenue life, Michael managed to decompress between marriages or getting fired, by sailing off shore to tropical isles for as long as he had beer money. Each time it became harder to return to a life of fiscal responsibility.
Now he happily lives aboard and single-hands his traditional sailing cutter, Narwhal wherever he feels like. Over the years he has cruised up and down both coasts, Bahamas, Caribbean, the South Pacific, including Tahiti, and presently the Sea of Cortez. His latest favorite home port is Mazatlan, Mexico where he is busy writing a bi-monthly column, Mike Time and the next Deep Salt novel.

    I really enjoyed Parker and his crew. It was a good read and did not want it to end, so am hopeful there is a sequel.
    I am partial to Cebo, Parker's cat and all around good kitty!!!!
    I appreciated the author's sailing terms at the beginning of the book.
    More, In Deep Salt, Please.

    Mike Latta's first novel, In Deep Salt, is reminiscent of the writing style of the John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee novels, except maybe with a little more blood and gore thrown in just to keep things interesting. The protagonist, Parker, is the kind of guy you'd want to share a cold greenie with in a down island bar sometime. You'd definitely want the ex-marine on your side if things got ugly at the bar. Even better would be to have his psycho cat, Cebo, on your side. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and purposely read it slowly so that I wouldn't get done with it too darn fast. You can read some sample chapters at Mike's website, (michaellattanovelsdotcom) and no, I'm not really Mike in disguise. Happy reading. I'm hoping he's writing a sequel.
