It’s the perfect crime.

At Havana Bay, Cuba, in 1665, Spanish Navy Captain Francisco Menendez approaches notorious Captain Henry Morgan with an ingenious plan to steal a treasure scheduled to depart for Barcelona.
When the La Visitacion is lost in a raging tropical storm, the Spanish galleon and its cargo, including a Peruvian gold Madonna and Child, become the holy grail of treasure hunters.

Three hundred fifty years later, in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Liam Burns, a calculating confidence man robs the home of deceased coffee grower George Churchill and his widow, Catherine. He flees the island with ancient documents written in Spanish and George Churchill’s identity.

Always one step ahead of the authorities, Burns is amid another scam involving the discovery of the La Visitacion, when he realizes the importance of the stolen documents.

Peck’s Plantation tells of the complex and deceptive scheme of Liam Burns who, against all odds, returns to the Blue Mountains in search of hidden treasure. Will he succeed or will the beautiful coffee heiress Catherine Peck Churchill distract him from his goal? Can he have the treasure and the woman? Or will something he never anticipated bring him down?
