"Finally, there's a novel––with a metal detecting hero, no less—that spotlights this increasingly popular hobby. Detector Man is a real find!" – Terry Shannon, treasure hunting expert and author

Former athlete and celebrated coach Barney Caprio thinks he's all set when he and his beautiful wife purchase a residence in swanky Flamingo Pointe, a 55-and-older gated community on Florida's famed Treasure Coast.

And then she walks out on him.

Listless and dispirited, Barney unsuccessfully tries to fill the endless time with Tiki Bar Happy Hours, Early Bird Specials, and a lot of fruitless golf and fishing in what has now become his tropical prison. Despite his boredom, he resists when he's gifted a metal detector to help pass the time, fearing being labeled as "one of those weirdos" trooping up and down the beach in search of treasure.

But then, some odd things start happening around his usually sedate community, and Barney finds himself drawn into a wacky series of events involving Flamingo Pointe's colorful – sometimes crazy – cast of characters. His misadventures culminate in the complex's first ever murder mystery at the same time he's trying to straighten out his disastrous love life.
