The Keeper of Pelican Key

Former NYPD detective, ex-Navy SEAL Rick
Cavanaugh never expected that his first case as a
Manhattan private eye would be a life-changing
experience. Cavanaugh ventures to the tiny,
remote Caribbean island of Pelican Key in
search of the missing wife and daughter of the
Brazilian ambassador to the United Nations
and their friend, Margret deCaister. There,
amidst ancient legends of long-lost treasure, a
phantom spirit who in the early 1600s rescued
the island from marauding pirates, voodoo, and
the strange and sudden disappearances over four
centuries of women of the island’s patriarchal
deCaister family, he discovers a new, mysterious
and dangerous, modern-day evil that once again
threatens the island. Together with unexpected
travel companion and newfound friend, Kiki
Porter, a writer from Manhattan, he unravels
the mysteries of the island and discovers ancient
powers, the “power of the stones,” that make
him the world’s preeminent private eye and its
most fascinating new action hero.
