Synopsis

Four old friends set out on a two-week sailing vacation in the Florida Keys. These men need a break in their work-a-day lives. Jobs they hate, failing marriages and monotony control their world. They all want a change and a sailing trip seems to be the answer. Before the sailing begins, they’re diverted by a salty character named Bones offering them a high seas adventure as crew on his 90 foot schooner that they cannot refuse. He has the boat, but is just too old and infirmed to take such a large vessel out without a crew. A luxury he can no longer afford. With their help and his boat, they become the perfect team. Once underway, they are entranced by clear warm water, surviving storms at sea, and sailing on a starlit ocean. They are completely hooked on the adventure. The excitement over two weeks of sailing fades quickly when they realize there is a covert reason for Bones’ sailing trip. Have they fallen into the trap of a delusional madman who talks of Mayan gold, pirates and buried treasure? By then, turning back is not an option. Deception, drug cartel thugs, new loves and intense encounters on land and sea keep you on the edge of your seat. ‘It’s Treasure, mates’ but not what any of them expected.

Biographie de l'auteur

Pendleton’s multiple careers set him up for great storytelling, and one of which got his foot in the door of the movie industry. Dino DeLaurentiis set-up house with his studio in Wilmington, and through a chance meeting with an Art Director on a film being made there, Pendelton was hired to help with the production side of the movie. This led to a twenty-five year career making movies including Coming To America, Last of the Mohicans, Blue Velvet and Billy Bathgate. His autobiography Sea of Greed, which was written for North Carolina Court of Appeals Judge Doug McCullough, sold well and the movie rights to it have been purchased. His other autobiography, The Devil, Me, and Jerry Lee got great reviews from all over the world and was the basis for a play in West End, London. That book was also credited for the resurrection of Linda Gail Lewis’s career and led to her double platinum album with rocker, Van Morrison of Brown Eyed Girl.
