About the book
In 1521, the Aztec treasure, considered to be the greatest ever assembled, disappeared from the capitol city of Tenochtitlan. Almost five centuries later, former Navy SEAL Logan Dodge discovers a mysterious gold coin on a hidden ledge in the Florida Keys.
Upon learning the coin's origin, Logan embarks on a quest to locate and safeguard the treasure for the people of Mexico. However, he is not alone in his pursuit of gold. A dangerous Mexican drug cartel is hot on his trail and will go to extreme lengths to claim the treasure for themselves.
Teaming up with an old Navy acquaintance, a notorious mercenary, a laid-back Key West charter captain, and a marine geologist, Logan races against time to find the treasure and dismantle the drug cartel in the process.
"Gold in the Keys" is an action-packed adventure filled with shootouts, fistfights, high-speed boat chases, romance, and treasure hunting escapades in the lush setting of the Florida Keys.
