Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The first to notice something was wrong was Matt Hawks, the father of the newborn baby. The calls from Tom and Jackie Hawks stopped completely after November 15, the day they took a prospective buyer out for a sea trial.#2 Tom and Jackie had spent a lot of time and money fixing up the Well Deserved, which they'd purchased for $290,000 in November 2000. They wanted to watch their first grandchild grow up, but they were ready for a lifestyle change. They wanted to sell the boat.#3 After selling the boat, Tom and Jackie had gone missing. The Hawks family made a pact that if no one had heard from Tom or Jackie by Thanksgiving, Jim would file a missing persons report the next morning.#4 On November 23, Jim and Don drove up to Newport to check around. They met up with Carter Ford, a fellow sailor, who had last heard from Jackie in a voice mail message the afternoon of the sea trial. They found the yacht Well Deserved in its usual mooring, but sensed a change in stewardship.
