A CARIBBEAN BEST-SELLER NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON! In the first decade of the 16th century, a crew of Spanish conversos -- Jews forced to convert to Christianity to evade the Inquisition -- sail to the New World with the Great Navigator, Christopher Columbus. Their discovery of Mayan gold leads to slaughter, piracy, betrayal and a tantalizing mystery that lies unresolved until… Five hundred years later, when a beautiful Afro-Irish archaeologist and a small-town New England cop cross paths on the Caribbean island of Curaçao. Guided by a centuries-old diary written by a cabin boy on Columbus third voyage, they stay one step ahead of shadowy rivals to uncover the trail of a secret society, Nazi gold -- and something bigger than either saw coming.
