About This Book

A young man inherits a curious chart from an eccentric, recently deceased uncle that points to buried treasure on a sandy Florida key. He hastens south, suspecting a rival relative has received the same clue, and meets a cast of colorful fellow travelers and island characters, including an arresting young woman who distracts him from pure treasure-seeking. The narrative follows his hunt among coastal landscapes and oddball personalities, balancing light adventure, competition over the map, and hints of romantic and comic entanglement.
