About the Book

In 1863, the USS Albemarle, transporting a shipment of gold to the Mexican government of Benito Juarez, meets with an accident at sea and sinks. After a series of thefts and murders the gold is deposited down a sinkhole in Hardenton, Florida, where it remains for 145 years. Phil Dreyfus and his sister Lacy, who have purchased part of an old family farm at the Withlacoochee Bend, find the gold while searching for a good well. Before Phil can return the gold to the government, his hired hand kills him and steals the gold while a government satellite watches. The thieves escape, pursued by government 'troubleshooters, ' who have their act together, and by two Mafia button men, who don't. Stu Forbes, a direct descendant of the Confederate captain who transported the gold and died in the process, picks up the narration and starts connecting the dots. The true goal of the government troubleshooters is recovering a letter from Benito Juarez to Abraham Lincoln that would give the United States a legal claim on Mexico.
About the Author: A Florida native of rather mixed ancestry, with one current wife four grown children and two and a half dogs, I am a semi-willing victim of a classical education. I suppose the theory there was that if you throw enough things against the wall, some of it will stick. I like to think that some of it did although I'm still trying to figure out if it was spaghetti or linguine. In my career to date, I have worked as many things. I am currently impecuniously employed as a general contractor and Construction Manager on the West Coast of Florida. That's Paradise...if you didn't already know.... Free time? Well I used to go sailing but that disappeared along with the boat. I can't bowl worth a damn and contact sports are something only in memory since my orthopaedic surgeon threatened to kill me on the table if I tore out my shoulder one more time. Nowadays it's gardening and trying to figure out which raping insect or noxious fungus will attack next. A practicing raconteur with an MA in BS, I have been touted as a person with the world's largest collection of economically useless information. I hasten to assure you that my character references all agree that I am one.
