The Story in Brief
When the treasure-laden Spanish galleon, The Atocha, sinks off the Marquesas Islands during a 1622 hurricane, its $400 million in treasure remains untouched for 351 years until it is discovered by treasure hunter, Mel Fisher, and moved to Mel Fisher Maritime Museum in Key West.
A ruthless terrorist on the run from Israel’s Mossad and a die-hard Mafioso in the Federal Witness Protection Program, hunted by contract killers, find themselves drawn into the unlikely partnership of heisting Mel Fisher’s treasure during Hurricane Charley.
Emerson Moore, the Washington Post investigative reporter and resident of Lake Erie’s South Bass Island resort town of Put-in-Bay, travels on assignment to Key West to cover the hurricane’s impact. Joined by his ex-Navy SEAL sidekick, Sam Duncan, Moore finds his assignment taking a dramatic change as he is lured into a spider web of intrigue. Filled with murder, fights, underwater action, sunken boats, double-crossing, shark attacks, drug running, and boating thrills; When Rainbows Walk takes readers to exotic locations satiated with unforgettable characters and a surprising climax!

The Next Book
The fourth book in the series, Promised Land, will be released in the summer of 2006. It opens in 1805 during the Battle of Trafalgar and involves an envoy from the Vatican on a secret mission of international intrigue to the United States.
Emerson Moore is lured into a series of murders in Put-in-Bay and the French Quarter of New Orleans. Helping unlock the mysterious deaths are a rogue priest, who was banished from the Vatican to the small Catholic church on Put-in-Bay; Melaudra Drencheau, a flirtatious New Orleans detective; Harry “Elmo” Elms, Drencheau’s partner; and Bubbie Drencheau, Melaudra’s mischievous father who inhabits the swamps along the Pearl River.
From the blue waters surrounding Lake Erie’s South Bass Island to the hot, sultry heat of New Orleans’ French Quarter and Louisiana’s dangerous bayous and swamps, Promised Land delivers murder, gang fights, and dangerous boating incidents. The trail of the murders leads Emerson Moore to the surprising discovery of a document which may destroy the legitimacy of the United States.
