White Treasure: A Novel
Wilbur Bone must use all his inner-strength to control his emotions as he drives his lifelong best friend, Michael Moresby, to the airport for the last time. On the seat next to him, is a box containing Michael s remains. Minutes later, Wilbur steps onto a two-seater plane with Michael s ashes and heads to Lake Ontario where he carries out his friend s final wishes. As Wilbur begins grieving his loss, he learns that Michael has left him his dive boat and business, sixteen photographs of sunken ships, and a mysterious poem. But there is only one problem: Wilbur has never conquered the fears that overtake him when he dives. Still, Wilbur knows that Michael spent a lifetime fruitlessly diving for treasure and feels obligated to continue his quest. Now as danger looms ahead, Wilbur must determine whether the clues will actually lead to riches and, more importantly, if he can survive the treacherous, deep waters of Lake Ontario. White Treasure is the thrilling tale of a retired English teacher s adventure after he inherits his best friend s diving boat and risky mission beneath the surface of a Canadian lake."

This is an exciting easy read that keeps the reader held in place and the pages turning.
The characters are very well written and grow as the plot line unfolds. The area the book is placed in is obviously very well known to the author as the descriptions are authoritative and knowledge of conditions on Lake Ontario extensive, as is the knowledge of scuba diving shown in the writing. Having said this the reader is never left feeling inadequately informed about diving as there is nothing techie unexplained - several of the characters give other characters 'diving lessons' as part of the story line.
The plot itself is very believable and has many twists and turns that keep the reader guessing right to the last page turning. Their is plenty of action throughout the book which all adds to the need to keep on reading.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone
