Accounting For Pirates Steve McMillan

"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.
