The prospect of hidden riches can bring out the best… and worst in its seekers. It can drive men mad. It can drive men to kill.
While visiting the hallowed battlefields of Normandy, former Navy SEAL Logan Dodge and his family make an extraordinary discovery. One left behind in the tattered pages of a young soldier’s journal—a cryptic entry by a Key West native, alluding to a clue to a legendary lost treasure that’d long ago faded to the realm of myth.
Excited to return home and embark upon a treasure hunt, the Dodge family arrive in Key West to discover that Logan’s best friend has been beaten nearly to the brink of death. His attacker? His fiancée’s ex-husband, a serial abuser, hot-tempered hedge fund manager who’s fallen into severe misfortune and needs money fast in order to save his skin.
Try as they may, Logan and his family can’t keep their search a secret. The scent of gold is in the air, and sharks are swirling. What begins as a fun summer undertaking quickly turns deadly as professional criminals descend upon the islands to claim the riches for themselves and silence anyone who stands in their way.
The twentieth installment in the bestselling action-adventure series is a pulse-pounding, scuba diving, guns-blazing, treasure hunting adventure in the Florida Keys. Logan will be pushed to his mental and physical limits. But fortune favors the bold.
Matthew is the author of the Florida Keys Adventure Series and the Jason Wake Novels. He's always had a deep rooted love for adventure and the ocean. He loves traveling, diving, rock climbing and writing adventure novels.
Once again the author blends the characters and Florida scenery into a story that you can't put down. Give yourself a treat and read them you will not regret the hours spent and finish each one wanting more.
It's a solid 3.25 adventure/treasure hunt hindered by hired thugs/assassins.
Logan Dodge & family are on a month's vacation traveling in Europe and he promised his friend Jack Rubio he would stop at his grandfather's grave in Normandy. In a local museum, they find that recent pages of his grandfather's journal have been discovered and they hint at a treasure he and friends located in the Keys prior to the war and planned to search for once home.
Upon returning Logan find's his friend Jack has been attacked by his fiancee's ex-husband, who's fallen into debt and owes serious money to the criminals he works for. His idea was to "take" his ex-wifes' business and try to settle some of his debt.
To get Jack's mind off of his injuries, Logan talks him into searching for the treasure and each small clue leads to another. Meanwhile, to get out of trouble, the ex informs his bosses of the treasure and they send thugs & assassin's to Key West to get the treasure first and one of them is an old enemy of Logan & wife Angelina. Victoryina is a skilled assassin who takes no prisoners when on the job and is there at every discovery.
The press is also onto the story and people are converging on the Keys in crowds that only hinder the search. It's got a lot of action, lots of bad guys get killed and daughter Scarlet who was out of town, returns to the Keys to "surprise & help" which only leads to her being in danger.
The good guys win, but there is no sign of Victoryina and it feels like she will be back.
Least we forget the many times this group gathered to right the wrongs of the bad guys here to do harm I. The keys looking forward to the next edition... Ciao from Costa Rica from biggie and I !!pura Vida
Matthew has done it again. As we immersed ourselves in the Conch Republic lifestyle, adventure, treasure and intrigue captivated us for another wonderful escape into the world of Logan Dodge, et. al.
This was a fun summer read-or, winter read for someone dreaming of the forever summer that is life in the keys. These stories are consistent, engaging, and neat. You get what you came for!
Another great read by Matthew Rief of his heroes, Logan and Ange Dodge! Have read every book and never tire of their brave and fearless antics. Can hardly wait for the release on July 2 of MR's next book, Killer in the Keys.
perfect read for a Thanksgiving break on a cold snowy week.
We’ve traveled half way across the United States to visit our home places in the East. Cold snowy days and fireplace nights. A book that keeps you entertained
Loved, loved, this book. Just as his other Florida Keys Adventure books, this one grabbed you from the very beginning and never let go until the end. Matthew Rief is an awesome author. Can't wait until the next book.
Binge reading the series, 20 books in, I've very much enjoyed every single book. But this one is the best one yet! I haven't gotten bored with these Adventures and have come to fall in love with the Florida Keys. Thank you Matthew Rief for brightening my space in the Cloudy Pacific Northwest. I eagerly look forward to reading the rest of your books!
Another Matthew Reif winner featuring Logan Dodge and his friends. Each adventure gets better and makes me homesick for Key West! Now the long wait until their next adventure!!!
