A Treasure Conspiracy

"We love the adventures of husband-and-wife sleuths Will and Betsy Black. One of my favorite books took place in Jamaica. Now they back on that island, looking for buried treasure. But will Harry Dog beat them to the prize? I loved the dialect-filled telling."

-Pamela Paige, former feature writer, Sunday Magazine




"Beckwith's charming and clever husband-wife detectives romp from Key West to Jamaica in search of lost treasure. A delight for fans of Nick and Nore Charles."

-Roberta Isloib writing as Lucy Burdette,

Key West food critic mysteries.




When The Colonel comes into possession of an old diary by the captain of a Spanish galleon that sank off Jamaica in 1740, it sets off a search for a $600-million treasure buried somewhere on the island. Not surprising that the dangerous Harry Dog and his posse get involved. And it follows that Key West-based financial gurus Will and Betsy Black receive a phone call from their friend Mikey Mo asking them to come down to Jamaica to help The Colonel. They are tapped to be the couriers who deliver the money to purchase an old calabash that offers a clue to the treasure's location. But will Harry Dog let that happen? An exotic island adventure that sounds as authentic as Mel Fisher's search for the Atocha.
