About the Book:

Six main characters are woven through Quick Decision: Zach Ryan, the owner of the Maverick Hotel on the New River in Ft. Lauderdale; Stan, a Bahamian, is Zach’s best friend and Captain of the Hatteras, Quick Decision; Tina Lynn Jones, the daughter of Tom, the owner of Quick Decision; Maggie Fasciano who operates the marina at the Maverick Hotel; and finally, the twin brothers Calvin and Richard Webster.

As an affair intensifies between Zach and Tina Lynn, her father and Stan disappear en route to the Bahamas. Discovering that the yacht did not clear Customs anywhere in the islands, Zach contacts the Coast Guard and finds that many other large motor yachts have also disappeared in the last two years. There have been no survivors and no trace...until now.

From a love affair to vanishing mega yachts, a hedonistic Senator to mass murder, Zach Ryan races through Ft. Lauderdale, Washington D.C. and the Bahamas trying to find the answers to the bizarre puzzle of 21st century pirates.
