Bric Wahl

Russell Bricklin "Bric" Whal is the guy that every Key West local knows and every tourist wants to be. Relaxed, tanned by island sun and comfortable in his skin, he slides onto a barstool next to you at Schooner Wharf and lets you buy him a beer. Ex-Navy Seal, Key West native and full time treasure diver, Bric has been searching for a fortune in gold and silver in the Florida Keys his whole life. Today he may have found it, but not the treasure he expected.

After finding millions in treasure, Russell Bricklin "Bric" Wahl has suffered a terrible loss, and embarks on a long and dangerous journey to find thieves and murderers. Missing Spanish gold, Greek mobsters, racing in Baja, a near fatal deep water dive in England and a dangerous rail journey in Europe make for "cant put it down" mystery listening in this fast-paced sequel to Treasure Key.

Russell Bricklin "Bric" Wahl and his girlfriend Karen Murphy are rich beyond their wildest dreams, but they have paid a price. After a faked drowning and new names, courtesy of the Witness Protection Program, they can travel all over the world and live the life of the rich and famous, but all they really want to do is go home. They know as long as they stay far from Key West they will be safe.

Russel Bricklin “Bric” Wahl has decided to dial his manic life down a little. Bric and his buddy John “Rumpy” Rumpendorfer have joined to convert his millions in gold treasure by buying a peaceful and historic mansion and converting it into a luxurious adults-only bed & breakfast with a clothing-optional pool and a staff that makes Nobody’s Inn the perfect Key West hideaway.

After surviving a near fatal mob hit at the hands of a hired assassin, Russell Bricklin "Bric" Wahl return’s to Key West to open a bar. While recovering, Bric and his son, Brody, take a vacation to the Bahamas, where they rediscover the difficult life their Bahamian and English ancestors suffered through. Along the way, they search for a fabulous horde of Civil War gold that they learn may be hidden somewhere in the Out Islands of the Bahamas.

At a glance, Brody Wahl is the complete opposite from his father, Russell Bricklin "Bric" Wahl, a hard-fisted, hard-drinking, former Navy SEAL, a martial arts expert, a bit of a scoundrel with women and notorious for running afoul the police on one hand and numerous criminal elements on the other. In his own words, Bric describes himself as "a nice guy with a few badhabits". But at a closer look Bric hasmuch in common with his gentle six foot two, 260-pound son.

When Russell Bricklin “Bric” Wahl’s real identity is revealed by a newspaper reporter, he becomes the target of many past enemies, and jumps at the opportunity to go treasure hunting with an old friend in the Caribbean. The project is funded with the financial help of a mob boss in search of some of the most valuable gold coins ever discovered. With his son joining the expedition as a professional diver, Brody finds love and Bric can’t seem to stay out of trouble. The mobster promises protection for Bric when he gets back home.
