Fin Fleming

Fin Fleming is always in control when she's scuba diving in her home base of the Cayman Islands. But when she’s on land, not so much. She has problems in every part of her life, from her scheming past lover to her new stepsiblings and her career as chief underwater photographer at an oceanographic institute. She's got very few friends and no love life to speak of. But her troubles really escalate the day of the first accident….

Sorrow. Betrayal. Death by drowning. Those are the words of a dark and mysterious ancient curse that haunts the jaw-dropping sunken treasure known as the Queen’s Tiara. Everybody wants a piece of the riches from the past, but its location was lost years ago. Now, underwater photographer Fin Fleming has found the coordinates in an old ship’s log, and she’s willing to risk her life to retrieve the treasure. She puts together a team of scuba divers to seek the treasure and film the expedition for a documentary.

Fin Fleming is an accomplished scuba diver and chief underwater photographer at a famed oceanography institute on Grand Cayman. Her best friends disappear, and it doesn’t take long for the kidnapper to contact her with demands. Since the kidnapping occurred on the water, the police have asked for her help. She’d do anything to save her friends, so she dives right in to solve the mystery. But it’s not easy. There’s a killer shark in the area and someone is stealing scuba tanks from her dive shop.

Category 5 Hurricane Willard is barreling toward the Cayman Islands, but underwater photographer Fin Fleming has everything under control. Or so she thinks, at least until she must risk her life to move her brother Oliver’s boat to safety. After the storm, while assessing the boat for damage, she discovers a dead woman aboard, setting off a disturbing chain of events. It looks like an easy mystery, with Oliver as the presumed killer, but Fin knows Oliver would never commit this crime.

Cayman Islands-based oceanography institute RIO recently opened a new restaurant and tiki bar to give divers somewhere nearby to grab a snack and a drink.
