Accounting For Pirates

“I have been a fan of Steve’s accounting series since its
inception. I have followed Ben and Sharon’s adventures to
Philadelphia, Malta, Belgium, Finland, and New Orleans. This
time they are at the Outer Banks of North Carolina. As always
with Steve’s books, Ben and Sharon engage in lively banter,
but they also get serious when it’s time to save the day. And
though I’m not an accountant, Steve always provides some
understandable accounting insights that add to the depth of
his works. Steve’s novels make accounting seem fun as long
as there is some murder and intrigue included.”
—Norah Shultz, Professor of Sociology and Mystery Fan

The Outer Banks of North Carolina are known as the Graveyard of the
Atlantic due to all the shipwrecks in the area, including many pirate
ships. Off of one of the islands, Ocracoke, three young divers
discover a pirate chest loaded with gold, jewels, and other valuables.
While the three are deciding their next move with the treasure, Ben
Stone, an accounting professor, and his girlfriend, Sharon Levin, a
Philadelphia homicide cop, are at a conference in the Outer Banks.
Ben and Sharon become involved with the treasure, Jamaican
mobsters, and even murder. What was supposed to be a professional
opportunity and a much-needed vacation for Ben and Sharon turns
into a race to save both lives and treasure.
