Short Description: The opening scene is the home of the protagonist looking at Grace Bay Book Title: Caicos Conspiracy First Year Published: 2016 Author's Name: William Valentine Name of Waymarked Item: Grace Bay Location of Item: Northern shore of Providenciales More Information: Opening page of book: CHAPTER ONE Early summer-2007-Turks and Caicos Islands Morton "Jock" Baffert sat on the veranda of his Blue Mountain house looking east over Turtle Cove and Grace Bay. Outside the reef, the persistent trade winds swept the dark blue Atlantic Ocean with whitecaps and streaks of foam. Jock chilled over his second ice cold Turk's Head Lager and wondered which of the island's watering holes his wife was patronizing that night. The girls on this island were known to tip a few toddies after their committee meetings, and Providenciales had a wide array of choices. Many of those bars overlooked the reef-ringed oceanfront, some were on the secluded back bays, and others viewed the picturesque interior lagoons. Jock never begrudged "Kat" her time with her charitable friends. She was always rushing to this event or that, but still managed to run Provo's most successful construction equipment rental business. He had been home since 6:00 p.m. after a busy two-trip day at his dive business. All three of his boats had been full, and he was booked up well into next month. They were busy with the early summer kids and families, just out of school from the States. Kat usually left him a text message or gave him a call if she was going to miss dinner. Jock checked his recent calls and messages again, but there was nothing from her. It wasn’t like her not to give him a heads-up. He made himself a sandwich, popped open another cold one, and settled back in on the veranda. The weather forecast predicted the brisk trade winds would knock down from 20 knots to about 15 tomorrow. "The constant breeze cooled the temperatures down, but the island's dive operators would welcome a respite from the wind. Jock phoned the rental business just in case she was tied up there but only got the recorded business hours message. He thought fleetingly about his son Jordan who was somewhere in the Atlantic, sailing from Brazil to Miami with Paul Cayard on the third leg of the Volvo Challenge and his daughter Megan, who was finishing up her psychology master's degree at Florida State this summer. He looked at his watch again and thought if I don’t hear from her by 8:30…I’ll call a couple of her girlfriends.
