first in a series, and I do love a good series. Free from BookBub or one of those things
This one is set in The Keys (and I am always going to check out a series based in the Keys or New Orleans )
Wood is a Bridge engineer on a project to reconstruct a pier on one of the many bridges. However stuff starts going to hell on him and he can't get it finished...
by stupid dumb luck, he meets a man(Mac) who is a master diver who worked the oil rigs in repair and maintenance -just what Wood needs. They start working on the project where they find an interesting ans well preserved relic, which of course they want to know more about. Word gets out that they have found "something" and far too many people become interested in it.
Along the way we meet the contractor for the project (not a nice guy), his no good son, Wood's resourceful daughter, Mac's insane ex girlfriend, an Italian thug sent down from New Jersey to monitor the project, a Native American chief who is a master of "natural" medicine, her brother who is a very bad man...who are entertwined in a story line worthy of Carl Hiassen. Hiassen is funnier but this is a pretty good story. I am looking forward to further books in this series.
