THEY MURDERED THE PATRIARCH ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE CRUISE. BUT HOW AND WHY?
On the first night of a private family cruise, Gustav Inglenorth, a billionaire, and family patriarch, is found dead in his cabin, brutally stabbed three times.

The cruise was intended to be an exclusive gathering of the Inglenorth family on the inaugural voyage of The Majestic, an opulent private yacht. The purpose of the cruise was for Mr. Inglenorth to disclose the details and distribution of the family trust to the fifteen relatives accompanying him. However, with his murder, it becomes evident that one of his own family members is the culprit.

Amidst the chaos, Jack Ryder, a renowned author, and occasional consultant to the Miami Beach Police, finds himself on board the cruise along with his date. Jack, a forty-year-old divorced man, and former Wall Street Financial Analyst, has recently transitioned into a carefree lifestyle, embracing the freedom of living aboard a luxurious forty-four-foot yacht with his faithful beagle, Max. He spends his days enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Miami's South Beach, frequenting clubs, and charming the ladies. Jack's exceptional attention to detail in crafting crime mysteries has earned him a respected role as a consultant for the Major Crimes Division of the Miami Beach Police.
Assisting Jack in his investigations is Logan Robert, a former member of the Army Special Forces and currently a homicide detective with the Miami Beach Police Department. Logan recognizes Jack's unparalleled deductive skills and has come to rely on his assistance in solving complex murder cases.

As fate would have it, a fierce hurricane forces the cruise to seek refuge in the Port of Havana, giving Jack and Logan limited time to unveil the killer among the fifteen suspicious family members. With the Cuban authorities looming, threatening to interfere in their investigation and detain the family indefinitely, Jack and Logan must navigate the treacherous waters of family secrets and rivalries to unmask the murderer before their chances slip away.

Fans of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot will be captivated by the dynamic duo of Jack Ryder and Logan Robert as they unravel the web of deception and betrayal aboard The Majestic, blending their distinct talents and unyielding determination to solve the perplexing case.
