Booty

By Travis Kennedy

Sullivan "Spook" Smiley, a vicious post-Revolutionary War pirate, amassed a treasure worth tens of millions of dollars through the early 19th Century, and then vanished. His treasure never surfaced, and neither did any clues to where it might be. Until now. Judson Davis woke one Sunday morning in his apartment on the east end of Portland, Maine with a mind-splitting hangover and a strange, smooth stone in his pocket. The mischievous thirtysomething can't remember at first exactly how he'd come to possess the rock, but he has reason to believe that it once belonged to the legendary Captain Smiley. The stone reveals a code that inspires Judson to enlist his lifelong best friend in a madcap race to track down Smiley's treasure on the southern coast of Maine. At the same time across town, two dangerous con-men have set their sights on Shamus McGeary, a lonely, 70 year old trust fund billionaire from one of Portland's oldest old-money families. Determined to con the pirate enthusiast out of a few thousand dollars by selling him fake paraphernalia, the crooks are instead recruited by a shady black market dealer to manipulate Shamus into searching for Smiley's treasure themselves. The result is a fast-paced comic caper, as the two groups collide in their race to decode the centuries-old messages that lead to millions of dollars in buried treasure.
