The Lucas Caine series is Caleb Wygal’s adventure-mystery sequence. Moment of Impact (2015) begins the series, and subsequent entries like Blackbeard’s Lost Treasure (2018) and The Search for the Fountain of Youth (2018) blend mystery with Indiana Jones-style adventure.
The first two books lean more toward traditional mystery. Moment of Impact (2015) and A Murder In Concord (2016) have Caine investigating crimes in a fairly grounded way. By the time Blackbeard’s Lost Treasure arrives, the series has shifted toward treasure-hunting adventure with larger-than-life plots.
Wygal writes fast-paced stories that do not take themselves too seriously. The four books can be read independently, but Caine’s development from book to book rewards reading in order. Fans of action-adventure fiction with a mystery backbone will find plenty to enjoy here.
