This book was a freightening story of how a trusting couple put their boat up for sale, then made the tragic mistake of taking the "buyers" on a test drive - never to be seen again.

The story is well written, flows well and tells the story without bogging the reader down with long trial documents. A retired detective and his wife took to the ocean in a ship they called "Well Deserved." After cruising for a few years, they decided to once again settle down into a home to be near a new grandson. An add was put into a paper, and a greedy couple answered the add with no intention of actually paying for it....

The author does a fantastic job of giving the reader the background of all parties, and is a book that is hard to put down.
