In The Glass Eel, Jeanette King, a 49-year-old cancer survivor, stumbles upon her ex-husband's stash of baby eels, known as elvers, on Maine's Caterpillar Island.
These two-inch-long eels fetch up to $2,000 per pound on the black market.
Selling them entangles Jeanette in a dangerous web of poachers, corrupt politicians, and criminal activities.
As she delves deeper, she uncovers a complex conspiracy that threatens not only her life but also the future of the island's community.
This atmospheric debut novel weaves suspense, environmental issues, and a strong female lead into a compelling narrative.
