When Jimmy and Emily hit rock bottom, losing everything, they took her uncle up on his offer of his 34-foot, 1963 Hatteras, Biscayne Beauty. It was a chance to start over. So off they sailed through the south end of Biscayne Bay to the Intracoastal Waterway, ICW, which would lead them to their ultimate destination; Key West. Little did they know the danger that lay ahead, and the cache of diamonds that might very well be their ultimate undoing. "Adventure as palpable as a dose of adreniline," noted H.L. Osterman, author of Short Changed.

Justin Maxwell is the pseudonym of Wayne "Skip" Kadar. He writes fictional pieces under that name so as not to muddy the waters for readers of his non-fiction Great Lakes regional books. Before devoting his time to writing, Skip taught at the high school level for several years, then became a high school principal. After 16 years as a principal, he retired from education. In retirement he worked as a harbor master at a marina on the Great Lakes and researched and wrote a number of historically factual books about that region; books about ships that now lie on the bottom of the freshwater seas. He also writes about notorious criminals from the region. Now fully retired, Skip spends time with his wife, Karen, at the family cottage outside Manistique, in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula, at their home in Harbor Beach, Michigan, on Lake Huron and winters in the fabulous Florida Keys.
