The times we are living in have forced Buck Reilly to question his purpose in life.Once a world-renowned archaeologist and treasure hunter who had lost everything, Buck had fled to Key West to operate Last Resort Charter and Salvage aboard a pair of antique amphibious aircraft.Now, tired of being broke, Buck digs out his old maps, clues, and research to some of the world's most lucrative missing treasures to start afresh.Until one of his worst enemies shows up at his door to demand help in finding the missing Queen's Dowry that sank with eleven Spanish Galleons in 1715 off Florida's east coast. Why would Buck help them?Because they have Buck's brother hostage and will kill him if the former archaeologist refuses or fails.The ensuing odyssey pits him against the people who had cost him his former success, family, and wealth, which led to his self-exile to Key West.But there is no escaping this time.The rocky road takes a surprise and brutal path that leads to mind blowing discoveries and a life-or-death confrontation that blows Buck's reclusive world irrevocably apart.

Imagine learning that someone you loved, the person who had been your role model and rock, had a past life so deep and dark that it obliterated your entire relationship. Silver Goodbye takes off fast when Buck Reilly, the once famous archeologist who lost his company, fortune, supermodel wife, and parents, makes a discovery that shakes the fragile foundation of his world. The revelation sends Buck back to Key West aboard the Beast, his ancient flying boat, to search for answers to a thirty-year old family mystery and a cache of untold riches. Turns out that Jade Diaz, the daughter of a dead drug smuggler is on the same hunt, and when she reluctantly teams with Buck, the dark past returns to hunt them with a vengeance. To make matters worse, Hurricane Irma is ripping a path of destruction through the Caribbean, forcing Buck to race against its descent onto the Keys to save Jade and find the buried stash before the storm surge washes it away. Silver Goodbye will shake you at the start, stir you in the middle, and blow you away at the end.
