Description

Pirating of the Duke's Cap'n is the third and final installment in the L. G. Clark South Florida Trilogy.
When ruthless modern-day pirates board and assault the crew of a shrimp boat named Duke's Cap'n, at sea far off of the Collier County, Florida, coast L. G. Clark springs into action. At first he is impeded by a lack of evidence, but when a photograph surfaces it provides a lead. Once again his primary undercover operatives, the romantically-connected Bob Taylor and Billye Carroll, are assigned to the case. They must burrow into the South Florida criminal community and take the investigation to another level; one that requires the combined use of technology and personal daring.
As with the previous two books in this series the author brings his knowledge of the history and environment of Southwest Florida into the forefront as he weaves his storylines. This book begins when biologists share an unusual experience while they are engaged in sea turtle conservation work on the Gulf-front beach on Keewaydin Island a barrier island located between Naples and Marco Island in Southwest Florida.
Another element introduces the reader to the infamous Edgar J. Watson. Watson, a notorious bad-guy, was killed by vigilantes on Chokoloskee Island in 1910. In the Epilogue that ends this trilogy the author discloses details related to the history of the gold disc that L. G. Clark wears around his neck. This medallion is a continuous link that connects the Clark family's past and the books of the L. G. Clark South Florida Trilogy to the author's best-selling historical novel, The Calusan.
