Overview

A 1935 hurricane in the Florida Keys destroyed the East Coast Railway, killed five-hundred people and blew away the town of Islamorada. Lost in that storm was Mathew Kriegel, a finance director for the railroad, and one and a quarter million dollars in gold. Now newly minted private investigators Skip More and James Lessor, of More Or Less Investigations have been hired to find that lost treasure. Fighting off competitors, scuba diving, digging in a spooky cemetery and almost getting killed is only part of their job. Skip and James have stumbled onto the biggest most dangerous adventure of their lives.

Inspired by Les Standiford s book Last Train to Paradise, this silly caper just happens to share some Florida history too. Recommend for those looking for a chuckle, movie quotes (Skip and James s specialty), and something along the lines of Dave Barry.

If P. A. Ritzer is open to sharing his passion for bookstore signings, we should listen carefully.

P. A. Ritzer has achieved remarkable success in bookstore book signings. In 'Love and the Art of Bookstore Book Signing' he shares the principles and practices that have led to that success. It is a valuable read and resource for any who would like to make their book sail up the charts. -- Dan Poynter, author, The Self-Publishing Manual P. A. Ritzer is an author, yes, but it is because of his great ability to engage our customers like a neighbor and a friend that he is also a regular bookseller in our store. I wish all authors would approach and sell to customers like he does. He has been by far the most successful author to sign and sell books in this store. He knows how to move books, and that is what the retail environment needs from authors today. Because of his gifted ability to sell, P. A. Ritzer has been and continues to be a tremendous asset to our team. -- Eric Welch, Store Manager, Barnes & Noble, Fort Collins, CO P. A.

I found myself rooting for these two quirky guys who manage to bumble along solving mysteries and along the way they find out a little more about who they really are. I recommend this book especially for those who enjoy a lighthearted adventure story. --ReviewTheBook
