Grave Descend by Michael Crichton

 This is apparently an early work for Crichton.  It was short but good.   James McGregor is a diver who is hired to examine a sunken yacht.  All is not as it seems.

McGregor has a stalwart sidekick, Yeoman.   He is loyal and muscle centric.   Yeoman is the hard guy to McGregor’s cynical and not as physical presence.   There are sharks, bikini clad women and mafia hoods populating the book.   A color cast of characters and an interesting plot.

I enjoyed it, while it is a bit simplistic and not up to Crichton’s later standards it was still enjoyable. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
