Close windowSunday, January 31, Gables Art Adkins has been in law enforcement for the last twenty-nine years and worked as a police officer on the Ft. Lauderdale Police Department, as a sergeant on the LAPD and is currently a lieutenant with the Gainesville Police Department. His knowledge of police procedure is vast, and he has woven these details into The Oasis Project, an environmental thriller dealing with a topical issue confronting Florida and the world today. Shirley Waterbury does not believe her family’s death was accidental. Shirley knows her father was too meticulous and too cautious and knew the sea too well to attempt to sail during an approaching hurricane. The sea was his life, and he would never jeopardize the welfare of her mother and her brother, Billy. She knows they were murdered, but with no indication of foul play, no one will investigate a tragedy classified as an accident. Enter Slade Lockwood, a decorated twenty-year veteran of the LAPD, who returned to Cedar Key to find what escaped him in law enforcement: himself. His reluctant acceptance to investigate the deaths of Shirley’s family members will take him on a journey across America, where he finally finds what he lost while also unraveling the mystery behind the murders. 4pm
