Five Blessings: A NOVEL
The novel, Five Blessings, centers on a trip to Bimini by the protagonist, Henry Chambers, with the purpose of determining the real story behind what happened to his missing uncle, Dexter Hughes. During his stay on the island, Henry uncovers an artifacts smuggling ring. In the process, he meets and develops a romantic relationship with a woman, Candace, who has had a business relationship with his uncle. When word gets out that Henry is on the island, though, the intermediaries of the smuggling ring show up to feel Henry out. As it turns out, the captured antiquities are being shipped by a network of terrorist groups, including ISIS. When Henry's Uncle Dexter surfaces alive, things get sticky. Dexter reveals a plan to hack into the dark web marketplace, where the antiquities are traded, SilkRoad, coopting the traffic to his own site. In doing so, he will have to stage a takeover of the smuggling ring. NSA, MI6, and Bimini Police become involved. In the climax, the ringleaders intend to kill Henry on the way back from Great Abaco Island. A blow kicks up, and, in the melee that follows, Candace is murdered. Before dying, Candace has radioed the cruiser's position to the U.S. Coast Guard. A Coast Guard cruiser accompanied by helicopters finally arrive and Henry is saved. Uncle Dexter, who is aboard, disappears on a raft. At the close, Henry is left wondering what role his uncle really had in all of this. The locales of Five Blessings include Boston, Arlington Heights, Ft. Lauderdale, Bimini and Great Abaco Island.
