High Tide by Hywel Richard Pinto

Vagator, Goa—the land of sun, sea, surf, drugs, corruption, and over-commercialisation—turns into a nightly party of drug-fuelled orgies and flowing alcohol. Sabrina Merchant travels to this sunshine party state to search for her sister, Aishwarya, who has mysteriously vanished, like hundreds of women each year. Alongside her colleague, Vikas, she discovers she must also locate Genevieve Clarkson, who seems to have disappeared deliberately. Their search leads to the Ave Maria, an ancient Portuguese treasure ship hidden beneath an old house, and draws the ire of ruthless businessman Sharik Seth and the powerful D’Costa family. Aided by politician Kenzo Fernandes and disgruntled cop Rojan Thimpu, can Sabrina and Vikas uncover the truth and rescue Aishwarya? A sensational blend of history and suspense.
