In STANIEL CAY, old Nick Finneran finally tells his story of how, as a teenager in post-World War II 1948, he and his cousin Tony leave the cold Massachusetts winters behind to begin a life's journey. Along the way Nick and Tony do a lot of fishing, meet colorful characters from the pre-tourist days of Miami, and discover a wrecked sailboat in the mangroves, which they rebuild and sail to the Bahamas. The teenagers experience the tranquil life in the Caribbean before the tourist boom, but soon uncover a plot that could prove to be the opening salvo of the cold war! The boys are incredulous to find themselves in a life and death struggle for survival.STANIEL CAY (pronounced "key") is a story of youth, adventure, and mischief, that hasnÂ’t been concocted since Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn sailed the Mississippi.
