Sunset Reef

by Patrick Wayland

 "...HAD ME READING LATE INTO THE NIGHT"    "...A DARN GOOD ADVENTURE STORY"      "...READ IT IN ONE SITTING" When Brian Finn, a dead-broke 19-year-old dockhand, discovers the underwater location of a Spanish shipwreck, he enlists the help of Darleen, a Harley-riding, salty ex-navy salvager. Darleen’s got a lot of expertise in scuba operations. Then he asks Zoe, an old high school friend, to join his crew because—well—her rich lawyer dad has a boat. Before long the three are pulling up silver and gold! It’s a run of good luck until millionaire art collector K.V. Riles gets a whiff of treasure he’s been after for twenty years. Riles has never let anything—or anyone—get in his way. Brian should have known it was too good to be true. He never did have any luck—and probably didn’t deserve it. Now he's learning that keeping a valuable secret is a lot like making a really deep dive. There’s pressure all around. And if he's not careful, it could kill him.

The glint of gold.

Adventure, treasure, history and some really nasty bad guys! A bit of greed thrown in. What more could one ask for in a good read?
