Wild Tempest: A Coastal Caribbean Adventure

Rate this book
A brutal murder.
A shocking secret.
A diabolical threat.
When a documentary film crew goes missing on a remote island, Tyson and his Navy buddy, JD, dive into the case. But what they find only deepens the mystery.

Is the legend of Whistler Cay true?

Steeped in myth and superstition, the cursed island has always drawn the curious. But its history is dark and unpleasant. Tyson and JD come face to face with its heinous past when they discover two more crimes on the island—one old, one new.

To complicate matters, a sailor is rescued after a week lost at sea. Clinging to life from a gunshot wound, he tells an impossible tale of gold and a ghost ship. Are these the ramblings of a dying man, or was he really aboard a vessel lost half a decade ago?

The deputies set out to discover the truth, but this could be their last adventure if they’re not careful. The mysterious ship won’t give up its wicked secrets without a fight. Stormy seas and sinister forces conspire against them, and the chaos may put them at the bottom of the ocean.

It’s madness, mayhem, and malevolence as the best friends solve the mysteries of the Florida paradise.

"If you like thrilling tropical adventures, you'll love Tyson Wild.”

Gold Fever

Tyson and JD may not survive this adventure. A ship lost at sea rumored to be loaded with gold and missing persons may add some more missing persons to its collection and a pirate treasure on an island with witches and murderers. Can the volunteer deputies survive long enough to catch their guys. Tripp spins a story that will have you looking over your shoulder and dreaming of gold. Thanks for sharing your stories.

JD

Good story and many loose ends. Did anyone go back to get the gold? What was the virus JD got and why didn’t anyone go into isolation until the medical people found out what it was?

not trip’s best work

I’ve read all 98 books and this one ranks well toward the bottom. I am, have been and will continue to be a fan. This one was sort of a one off.
