Описание книги

A novel based on the history of Topsail Island, NC, beginning with the final days of piracy in the era dominated by the infamous Blackbeard. The story winds its way through a suspicious search for Blackbeard&#39;s treasure in The Dirty Thirties, the subsequent use of the island as a US Military Rocket Testing Facility after World War 2, through the tourism boom in the 1990&#39;s, the real estate crash of 2008 and culminating in the island&#39;s subsequent recovery.<br><br>Wendell Forbes, a young real estate developer, dreamed only of success when he purchased development property on Topsail Island. When the bottom fell out of the market, facing bankruptcy, he devised an audacious plan to save his subdivision. Unfortunately his adversary was desperately awaiting Forbes&#39; failure. His plan was to acquire both the land and Blackbeard&#39;s elusive treasure.

About the Author

Отрывок из книги

The bow of the twenty-five foot fishing boat lifted as its sole occupant slammed the throttle forward but as the boat began to plane his frustration subsided and he backed it off to a cruising speed of thirty-five knots. He was forty miles off shore, on the edge of the Gulf Stream, no place to abuse his boat and risk a breakdown.

The vague haze of land on the horizon became clearer and soon he could begin to distinguish the shapes of trees and houses, still miles away. Ahead he noticed a forty-foot cruiser floating calmly in the gentle swells. As he passed, he saw a middle aged woman waving at him and casually raised his hand to return the friendly gesture. The woman continued waving. It was a call for assistance, not just a friendly wave.
