Embark on a thrilling journey as four friends chase lost treasure off Cuba’s coast, navigating storms and uncovering historical secrets. Their quest intertwines friendship, adventure, and the legacy of a notorious mobster in a race against time.
In 1956, a lobster boat laden with over thirty million dollars in gold sets sail from Nueva Gerona, Cuba, masterminded by mobster Meyer Lansky. The gold, extracted from a granite quarry on Isla de la Juventud, was intended for Santiago de Cuba, where it would be disguised and shipped to Italy for the exiled mob boss Charlie Luciano. However, the gold mysteriously vanished before reaching its destination. Fast forward to the 2006, four friends embark on a daring expedition aboard their 38-foot yacht, departing from Winyah Bay, South Carolina, in search of this lost fortune.
Their adventure takes them along the Southeastern U.S. coast and through the Bahamas, where they face treacherous storms and personal challenges.
Lansky’s Gold, penned by Duane Kennedy Nelson, is a captivating historical adventure that draws from rich Cuban history and the author’s extensive sailing experiences in the Bahamas and Caribbean. This novel promises to engage readers with its blend of action, camaraderie, and the allure of a bygone era, making it a must-read for those who crave adventure and a glimpse into the shadows of organized crime.
