"Newton is the real deal. I'll read anything he writes." --New York Times bestselling author Lee Child
"Privateers rocks from beginning to explosive end." --Robert Dugoni, #1 Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series
"Privateers will grab you by the collar and won't let go until Charlie Newton gives the nod. Rarely have I read a book so absorbing, so sharply written, so filled with action that it thrusts you into the real world and makes you look hard at its beauty and its heartbreak." --Jonathan Eig, NewYork Times bestselling author of Get Capone
"Slavery and murder are beneath your brightest lights and softest sheets, the clothes you wear the fruit you eat . . . the covert intelligence you solicit to defend it all."
World War I rages. US marines storm Haiti's Banque Nationale, loot $26 million in gold, then vanish. A century later, clues surface during the demolition of a Chicago racetrack, pointing to the Corazón Santo--the notorious triangle of Havana, Kingston, and Port-au-Prince. Three fierce, vibrant women reunite to hunt the treasure, hoping it will buy their survival from a long-buried, catastrophic misjudgment. They conscript a streetwise Chicago horseplayer's help, then risk a return into the Caribbean's mangrove jungles and mountains that have tried to kill them before. The uneasy partners are quickly swallowed in a terrifying labyrinth of shadow government and modern-day piracy where a final choice will be forced upon them: gold, survival, or redemption?
Genre: Mystery

"Newton is the real deal. I'll read anything he writes." - Lee Child
"Privateers rocks from beginning to explosive end." - Robert Dugoni
"There's a search for gold in the plot of Privateers, but the real gold is Newton's writing. Riffs conjure Hunter Thompson or James Ellroy, but Newton owns them all. Words shimmer off Caribbean waters as the story dodges, feints, and streaks to the next turn." - Kirk Russell
