About The Book:
In the thrilling and fast-paced vein of Clive Cussler and Randy Wayne White, but with Carl Hiaasen’s sense of humor, John H. Cunningham’s Buck Reilly, the lovable and quirky adventurer à la Indiana Jones, Martin Riggs, and John McClane, returns in the much-anticipated Buck Reilly Adventure series novel, SILVER GOODBYE ($4.99 eBook; August 7, 2018; Greene Street, LLC.)
Cunningham’s seventh novel finds Buck living comfortably at the La Concha Hotel in Key West and staying out of trouble for once in his life. However, there’s a big BUT coming…
Buck discovers something shocking and sordid about his role model father, who appeared to everyone to have led an exemplary life as an Under Secretary of State with the State Department. The revelation sends Buck in search of answers to a thirty-year-old family mystery and a cache of untold riches. As any good Buck Reilly Adventure would have it, there is always a beautiful woman, a treasure, and an enemy hell-bent on making sure Buck doesn’t see the light of another day.
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 the girl 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.
