This book he wrote before teaming up with Clive Cussler. I know now that Author Kemprecos is an outstanding author and his story here is compelling. This novel takes place in and around Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Aristotle Socarides, known as "Soc," has quite a history, even though his endeavors are not revered by his younger brother who lives a very opulent lifestyle. Soc has been to college, served in the Army in Vietnam, was a detective for the Boston PD, and now was a part-time commercial fisherman/private investigator. You might say Soc has quite an attitude when stirred up and exhibits strong anger, often with wit and humor. That might be why he lives in a boat house, gets out on the ocean under blue sky and enjoys the peacefulness. Coming in from a not-too-productive fishing trip with his partner, a well muscled man, Mike Barrett, approaches Soc and knows of his prior experience as a detective and hires him to do a job for him. It also entails diving in search of the long-lost British vessel, "Gabriella," believed to have much gold on it when it went down off Provincetown in June 1778. Soc has more than one job, and many secrets to solve. Author Paul Kemprecos has a great writing style; his novel delivers high action and knowledge as a seafarer. Though there are numerous proofing errors, including missing words, I did not let these errors deter me from enjoying this adventurous novel. It is well written and I found myself deeply engrossed in the adventure. Very well done, Paul. I'll be reading more of your stories. ### ⭐⭐⭐ OMGoodness *by T***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 3, 2013* I remember in college my literature professor explained that good writing required colorful, descriptive scenes. You didn't write "the sun sat". You wrote something like "the orange disk settled into the burning ocean" or some such thing.Well, Paul Kemprecos took this style of writing to a whole different level. Most books attempt to provide descriptive phrases in the beginning and then it is left behind and the author just tells his/her story. Not so with Paul Kemprecos. Not only are his descriptive phrases throughout the book but they are so long winded that they became boring and irritating. I swear one such phrase went on for half a page. I got to the point where I would just skip down a paragraph, or so, and continue from there.Too much descriptive phrasing aside, the story was very slow and not very exciting. This book will not keep you up at night. I liked the premise of a treasure hunt but I could not get into the character of the detective, his Greek family and his lifestyle. It did take me a while to figure out the ending and that alone kept me going.I see he has other books in this series. I don't think I will be reading any of them unless I run out of my favorite authors. I really don't see what Clive Cussler saw in this book to offer him a job writing for him. Maybe Mr. Cussler read all the books in the series and the others are much better than this one.I also see a lot of 5 star reviews. I would be skeptical of a new authors 5 star reviews. You would be surprised how many family members and social friends will give a new author 5 stars just to help him out. I'm not saying this has happened here, to this author, but I know firsthand it does happen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoughts on the book. *by W***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 31, 2021* Generally good story and mystery. Loved the diving. I started SCUBA in 1962 and have done some diving in the cold waters of New England and some under ice freshwater diving. Could definitely relate to the trickle of ice water around my wet suit piece joints. I'll very likely read another. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4926106-cool-blue-tomb-aristotle-soc-socarides-paperback-may-15-2013](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4926106-cool-blue-tomb-aristotle-soc-socarides-paperback-may-15-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
