The book begins with a brief history lesson on the Water-Trap, and then flashes forward to the hero of the book as a young boy playing with his brother on Ragged Island dreaming summertime dreams that all boys have about finding pirate gold, and what to do with the mountains of gold that is sure to be found if only they can discover the right tunnel. Accidents happen and that brings us to the present where our hero, Malin Hatch swears never to step on Ragged Island again until approached by the shadowy figures that inhabit all of these books. They come with smiles, high technology, and promising the riches that would make any man or woman think twice.
This novel centers around the coastline of Maine, and is filled with rich, interesting characters. The history was intriguing. The quest for the treasure of Red Ned will you keep you on the edge of your seat. I felt it was a quick, fun read. It has roots in a true quest for pirate treasure.
