Treasure-hunter Marshall Cross is down on his luck and recently divorced. His foundering archeology-themed amusement park, Treasure Island, is being threatened by ruthless real estate tycoon Denton Barrett, and Cross is hoping for a big find to stave off selling his dream. Finding Pizarro’s golden sword, an intricately carved, razor-sharp rapier lost in a hurricane in 1715 off the Coast of Brevard County, Florida, would do just that. Cross’ problems mount when news breaks that a meteor is forecast to strike the Atlantic, threatening to send a mammoth tsunami barreling into the Florida peninsula. From undersea shipwrecks, to gator-infested swampland, to the Kennedy Space Center – Cross’ adventures find him going toe-to-toe with Barrett’s paramilitary army, a seductive zookeeper, and a surly bull shark named Marge. Can Cross unearth Pizarro’s sword, save Treasure Island, uncover an astronomical conspiracy, and find love – all before the meteor crashes into the ocean and his new-found adversaries turn him into shark bait? Filled with high-seas excitement, breezy humor, and tropical romance, with A Sword for Pizarro, you’re not just reading a book, you’re along for the adventure.

Eighteen-year-old Alexis Byrne has vanished. She
survived the sinking of the research vessel Argus II, only to disappear days
later in broad daylight off the affluent streets of
Windermere, Florida.
Roguish treasure-salver Marshall Cross is retained by old-flame and
insurance adjuster Veronica Terefenko – not to find the missing girl, but to
find the Argus II, which floundered off the
Abaco Islands and disappeared completely into its deep, dark waters. To find the ship, Marshall must first solve the
mystery surrounding Alexis Byrne. Where is Lexy? And what does the
appearance of a colossal manta ray seen patrolling the depths of Great Abaco
Canyon have to do with this sub-aquatic riddle? From the sun-soaked beaches of Brevard County, Florida, to
the seedy underworld of transnational crime, Cross finds himself entangled
in an adventure overflowing with sunken secrets, paranormal intrigue, and
high-seas danger. Can Cross find Lexy, who may not only know the whereabouts
of the Argus II, but could also hold the key to a family secret which has
haunted Cross his entire life? The answer might lie with the monstrous
manta, which may be more than it seems. Filled with undersea excitement, steamy romance, and an
unforgettable cast of characters, Devil Ray is an adventure from which you
won’t want to catch your breath.
