Synopsis
This thirteen-book series follows twenty years of mystery and adventure in the life of Russel Bricklin “Bric” Wahl— professional treasure hunter, former Navy SEAL, martial arts expert, musician, and the kind of man who makes everything look effortless— and his son Brody. Bric is the guy every local knows by first name and every sunburned tourist wishes he could be. Salt-bleached hair, a permanent tan from years under the Keys sun, he slides onto the barstool beside you at Schooner Wharf or Sloppy Joe’s like he owns the place, orders two beers, hands you one, and is already making your wife laugh before you’ve taken your first sip. Both Key West “Conch” natives, Brody has grown up in his father’s wake, becoming an expert diver and treasure hunter in his own right. The Wahls didn’t start there, though—they started broke, living aboard a rotting cabin cruiser anchored in Florida Bay, saltwater coming in faster than money. It was there that Bric first pulled fabulous sunken treasure from the deep, and nearly lost everything—and everyone—to the foreign mobsters who came to take it. He calls himself “a nice guy with a few bad habits.” He never goes looking for trouble. Trouble, however, has always had a talent for finding him.
