Jay (Jay Leicester Aviation Consultant P.I.) has been called by his long time childhood friend Guy Robbins after his beloved Picaroon was found missing . The Picaroon was a 40 ft double ended sail boat that was one of  Guys  loves in life. His only loves were Mildred his wife, the Picaroon ,and the Law  ( Guy Robbins was an attorney ). The good news was that the next day,searching off shore  flying in his restored blue and white 1941Steerman Biplane he finds the Picaroon. The bad news is it's scuttled in 50 ft of water. Adding exponentially  to the bad news, were the two dead bodies found in her, with there eyes removed!The Jay Leicester stories are well written with an engaging collection of characters old and new. The backgrounds and situations are realistic an enjoyable. In all the stories there is thread of wine and wine appreciation which  has a very realistic feel and adds another layer altogether to the stories. I have found this series of stories to be good mysteries  and  enjoyable to read.
