    About this ebook

    When divers find a mysterious box underwater near Withrow Key, they bring it to the surface. Almost immediately, odd things start happening around the island; people aren’t acting right and neither are the lights, the animals or the weather. Before the supernatural forces at work are released spelling doom for the local residents and the treasure hunters alike, Jackson Pauley and Randy Littlebear have to put the box it back to where it came from.

    This is the third Withrow Key thriller short story. Set on a bypassed key in the Florida Keys, life moves a little slower and a little weirder.

    Each Withrow Key thriller short story features scuba diving, adventure, boats, the ocean and mystery along with beautiful locations and scenery. This story revolves exclusively around the two main characters Jackson Pauley and his best friend Randy Littlebear. Littlebear uses his knowledge of Native American lore to help Jackson understand what is going on.

      About the Author

      Chapter 1

      The air was still and hot. The humidity was so thick, it felt like oil. The Florida Keys were almost always caressed by a gentle breeze that made it bearable in the summer time. But this day was different. The air had an almost unnatural feel to it; like something was holding the wind back.

      So tell me again how this all happened, Jackson asked his friend, Randy Littlebear, as the other man sat beside him on the fly bridge of his boat, the Daydreamer, a 29-foot Boston Whaler Outrage with twin 250 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke engines. Littlebear was scanning the water with high-powered binoculars. He was a federal officer with the Bureau of Indian Affairs—a cop. He worked on the Seminole reservation to the north, but he liked to spend his spare time in the keys, diving and fishing. Littlebear and Jackson met when Littlebear was working undercover
