John Poole receives a phone call from a hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. His estranged father, a treasure hunter who claims to be a direct descendant of Captain Henry Morgan, the pirate, has been beaten within an inch of his life. His only words for his son are, "I've found her." Thus, the story begins for John Poole, who reluctantly flies to Jamaica out of a sense of conflicted obligation to a man he has grown to despise. With the help of the beautiful Mari Robeson, Poole soon finds himself caught up in the hunt for Morgan's lost treasure. Not knowing whom to trust, Poole follows clues provided by his father, and Captain Morgan himself, to discover details of his past and the treasure he least expects. Poole's Gold tells the story of two men, John Poole of the present and Sir Henry Morgan of the past, and the women who shape their lives. More than just a treasure hunt, Poole's Gold is a must read.
