Le présent ouvrage offre au public un premier volet « Profils et Silhouettes » qui évoque les notables Gannatois sur deux millénaires.

It’s a wild, stormy night in Sarasota, Florida but shipwreck treasure hunter, Captain Rex Finsmer and his protege, Phillida Jane Trent are safely docked in their boat, Time Voyager. So when something causes Time Voyager to shudder and sway they know it’s not the weather. Their gruesome discovery is just the beginning of a murder mystery that revolves around the Lost Treasure of Lima, a fabulous cache of gold, jewels and artifacts stolen from the Cathedral of Lima in 1820. Will the Captain be able to solve the murder before anyone else gets hurt? Are he and Phill able to recover the treasure? And just what is the significance of the one-armed man? The Mystery of the One-Armed Man is a short story – about 15,000 words – and the first in the Captain Finn Treasure Mystery Stories.
