Author William Beck believes,“a well written story will draw the reader in with an opening punch, a hook that leaves them questioning what does this have to do with the storyline.” He illustrates this by the opening to his latest novel, Caribbean Agenda, in which the Prologue transports readers back in time, building suspense on a tale of stolen treasure and a curse of a promise. As modern day changes the landscape, Beck’s authentic and compellingly likable narrator, Bryson McGann takes center stage around whirlwind drama that unfolds as suspense builds a craftily plotted thriller.
Sara Jennings, a young Miami attorney, is missing. Bryson McGann makes a grisly find at the bottom of a deep water reef in the Gulf of Mexico. The dead woman looks exactly like Roni Canton, sister of his lifelong friend, Joe “T.C.” Canton. Without warning, Roni disappears, eliciting a desperate search that catapults McGann and Canton across the Caribbean Basin and into Central America. This addictive thriller moves at light speed in a breathless race against time, and for Roni Canton, the ultimate outcome remains uncertain.
Fast paced and engrossing, Beck carries the reader inside the life aquatic and into the dangers that are hidden beneath calm, quiet surfaces. Solid dialogue, fascinating characters and a wonderfully rich setting make Caribbean Agenda a must-read for anyone in need of a thrilling escape.
