Concord author pens new action-adventure: The Search for the Fountain of Youth

CONCORD, N.C. - Nov. 5, 2018 - PRLog -- The author of A MURDER IN CONCORD returns with his most thrilling tale yet.

Franklin/Kerr Press of Concord is thrilled to announce the publication of Caleb Wygal's new novel, THE SEARCH FOR THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, a follow-up to his 2016 Clive Cussler Adventure Award Semi-Finalist BLACKBEARD'S LOST TREASURE.

"We're excited to be a part of this exciting chapter of Caleb's Lucas Caine series," Jordon Greene, co-owner and publisher of Franklin/Kerr Press tells us. "If you've ever wondered about the possibilities of the Fountain of Youth you won't want to miss this one."

The novel picks up two years after the events of BLACKBEARD'S LOST TREASURE concludes. Lucas Caine is struggling to get his deep-sea salvage operation off the ground. But when he makes a discovery off the coast of Nags Head, he finds himself in the middle of a 200-year-old secret government operation. It's mission: to find the Fountain of Youth. Caught between a shadow agency and another mysterious group sworn to protect the Fountain at all costs, Lucas doesn't know who—if anyone—to trust.

With his best friend Darwin by his side, the team must trace a cryptic path originating from the ocean's depths on a high-octane search for the greatest treasure of them all. But one-by-one the team disappears. Can Lucas end the quest and locate his friends while he runs for his life? Or will he be next?

This is the fourth book in the Lucas Caine series. Wygal draws inspiration from such authors as Clive Cussler, Dan Brown, and James Rollins in his novels.

"I have written young adult and murder mysteries," Wygal said, "but I truly enjoy writing action/adventures with a touch of mystery involved. I love sending the reader on a journey with Lucas Caine as he often finds himself caught up in events beyond his control and must figure a way out. This time, the stakes get much higher as the novel progresses, adding to the tension."

Wygal's engaging writing style can be enjoyed by anyone from teens to adults.

The novel will be in select bookstores, and available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, FranklinKerr.com as well as other online book retailers. The paperback price is $12.99. The Kindle version is available for preorder on Amazon for the promo price of $.99 and will remain at that price for one month following its release until it goes to its normal price of $4.99.

Wygal is available for book readings/signings and in person performances upon request. Contact Jordon Greene at jordon@franklinkerr.com or at 704-659-3915.
