Buck Reilly’s in Jamaica and back in the treasure hunting business—until some old enemies ace him out. Fortunately for Buck, a beautiful University professor with ancient Maroon secrets about the missing riches of captain Henry Morgan lures him back to the chase. Thrust into turbulent waters where trust is as elusive as the treasure itself, Buck’s knocked further off course with the appearance of the once love-of-his-life. The heat of Maroon Rising jumps off the page as Buck ricochets from the pirate enclave of Port Royal—once the Wickedest City on Earth—to the Blue Mountains, GoldenEye Resort, white sand beaches and the lush Cockpit Country of Jamaica. The conclusion will leave you breathless and change Buck’s life forever.
Testimonials
The best book of the series. It is a fun read that goes fast, too fast for me since I have to wait for the a new one. Cunningham is developing Buck along nicely. It is somewhat in the vain of John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee series. While Buck isn’t McGee, the flavor and color are there. In my opinion, these books are better than Michael Reisig’s Road to Key West books. This is not a slam of Reisig at all, I read those books too. All I am saying is that the Buck Reilly are just better, that’s all.
Also, in this genre, I really enjoy the Wayne Stinnett and Bill Myers books. If you, like me, are looking for something along the style, color and, locale of the Travis McGee books, try this series

I love how John has evolved this series into worldwide international thrillers without forsaking the Keys treasure, boats, and planes vibe. As Buck is thrust into further turmoil over his heritage the plot twists and turns, taking his faithful group and vintage seaplane to incredible European destinations, steeped in history and treachery. I loved every page of this adventure.
- Nicholas Harvey, USA Today bestselling mystery author.
John Cunningham does it again with a Buck Reilly tale that keeps the pages moving. It is both entertaining and informative regarding Key West’s earliest founders, but not all treasure is silver and gold.
