Key West Wind

by Donald Elton

A lost treasure. A stormy past. A secret that could change the world.

When traveling cardiologist Roger Jackson and his partner nurse Isabel Melendez accept short-term assignments in sun-soaked Key West, they expect a laid-back escape from the chaos of Miami hospitals. But their medical sabbatical soon takes a turn when an unexpected discovery beneath the sea links them to a centuries-old mystery—and to powers that still echo across time.

Set against the colorful backdrop of modern-day Key West and the historic tragedy of the 1622 Spanish treasure fleet, Key West Wind masterfully blends contemporary adventure with historical fiction. As Roger and Isabel join a team of divers in the Florida Keys, they stumble upon a long-missing artifact: the sterncastle of the fabled Nuestra Señora de Atocha, rumored to have gone down with untold riches and something far more valuable.

With a hurricane brewing both on the horizon and among rival treasure hunters, the couple must navigate intrigue, danger, and a deepening mystery. What begins as a diving expedition soon becomes a global reckoning, as what they’ve found could disrupt economies and rewrite the history of human knowledge.

For fans of Clive Cussler, Dan Brown, and real-world conspiracy woven with archaeological suspense, Key West Wind offers a gripping story grounded in fact, seasoned with romance, and driven by discovery.

Join Roger and Isabel as they journey from hospital halls to ocean depths—and from whispered myths to truths the world may not be ready to face.
