Greed, Gold and Turtle Grass.

Greed, Gold & Turtle Grass by J. Hal Forbes

J. Hal Forbes, Gainesville, has written the first in a series of novels featuring the character Leland Forster. The setting for this book is sleepy Florida coastal island towns on the Gulf and the dark streets of Miami's drug cartel.

Experience as a police officer and defense attorney has given Forbes the ability to create a cast of believable characters and mayhem surrounding the discovery of a 400-year-old gold plate from a sunken Spanish galleon.
