Calamity - Kindle Fiction

Calamity (Captain Grande Angil Mysteries) 
by Robert G. Bernstein 

Captain-for-hire, treasure hunter and former legionnaire Grande Angil -- Gray for short -- starts a new job to help make ends meet. He finagles himself a private detective's license in the hope of establishing a niche business in marine investigations. But his first case turns out to be a doozy. A woman in pain. A son lost at sea. A forty year old mystery. And a secret someone plans to keep hidden at all costs.

Fortunately, Gray doesn't scare or back down. He has three ex-wives, one kid with each, a history of adventure above and below sea level, a take charge and get-her-done attitude, a good friend with a respectable credit rating, a great boat, a crappy car and the willingness to see a job through to the bitter end.

But facts are facts. Angil doesn't know squat about being a detective.

His first client pulls into his dooryard three months after he prints his business cards. She arrives in a stretch limo driven by a large, monosyllabic black man. Angil plays it cool, acts the part of an experienced P.I., and takes what he perceives as an easy job -- researching the boating accident that killed the woman's son. Everybody seems satisfied, until it's time to say goodbye.

Back in the dooryard, the driver helps the woman into the car. He gently closes the passenger door, turns to Gray and says: "If you hurt her or cheat her, I'll kill you."

It's a case that will take Grande Angil from the depths of Penobscot Bay, Maine, to the bowels of Langley, Virginia, to the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean.

Calamity, a novel of contemporary maritime fiction incorporating a hard-boiled rookie detective and a strangely disturbing conspiracy, is the first book in the Grande Angil Mystery Series.
