Book Description
An old man is murdered after selling ten gold coins to different people on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The sheriff and his chief deputy are more interested in finding the source of the gold than the murderer. They think the victim found the long lost buried treasure of Blackbeard, the pirate. The sheriff figures Blackbeard sailed up the Chincoteague Bay to either repair the Queen Anne's Revenge, replenish his larder or to bury his treasure. Madame Z and the Sheriff's Wife want to solve the case and write a book. They travel around Worcester Country looking for clues and old coins at nautical antiques shoppes. They even go to Key West to get a first-hand look at treasure hunting. Blackbeard and Worcester County is another humorous mystery laced with local places; Chincoteague Bay, Assateague Island, Globe Theatre, Berlin, Ocean City and Snow Hill.

Book Description
“An epic history of piracy . . . Goodall explores the role of these legendary rebels and describes the fine line between piracy and privateering.” —WYPR The story of Chesapeake pirates and patriots begins with a land dispute and ends with the untimely death of an oyster dredger at the hands of the Maryland Oyster Navy. From the golden age of piracy to Confederate privateers and oyster pirates, the maritime communities of the Chesapeake Bay are intimately tied to a fascinating history of intrigue, plunder and illicit commerce raiding. Author Jamie L.H. Goodall introduces infamous men like Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and “Black Sam” Bellamy, as well as lesser-known local figures like Gus Price and Berkeley Muse, whose tales of piracy are legendary from the harbor of Baltimore to the shores of Cape Charles. “Rather than an unchanging monolith, Goodall creates a narrative filled with dynamic movement and exchange between the characters, setting, conflict, and resolution of her story. Goodall positioned this narrative to be successful on different levels.” —International Social Science Review
