| Plot Summary of The Deadly Reef |
|---|
"Fast-paced adventure, Powell Taylor leaves a comfortable future in the family jewelry store to follow his dream of becoming a fishing guide in the Florida Keys. He meets his future true love, Dawn, and embarks on the adventure of a lifetime when he teams up with "Captain Limbo," an undercover agent who enlists his help on a free-lance bounty hunt.
After Taylor lands a temporary job in a Key West jewelry store and appraises a beautiful, golden sculpture of a reef, he soon discovers the valuable artwork is a deadly decoy, and murder is the store's main business. He then finds himself, the Captain, and Dawn embroiled in a fight to put the murderers out of business.
