The Hatteras Caper intertwines the beauty
of the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the adventures
of a self-made humanitarian.
As Ray Leggett of Bear Grass, North Carolina, struggles
with the stress of a pregnancy with his fiancée, Stacey,
things go wrong with his life. He fails to make the East
Carolina University golf team, flunks out of college,
and finally joins the Marine Corps. He is sent to
Vietnam, but he returns injured. Seeking peace, Ray goes
to Canada in search of a golf team buddy only to find a
dismal scenario.
To return to North Carolina, Ray becomes a crewman on a
yacht sailing south. His life is changed forever when he
absconds with a cache of money, which he finds onboard
the yacht. On Cape Hatteras, Ray becomes a newspaper
reporter, gravedigger, and a body hauler as he carefully
manages his fortune. Several romances and a health scare
later, he invests in a bankrupt golf course. Stacey had
married another man, but is now a widow and finds Ray on
Hatteras. After their love is rekindled, an intriguing
secret about the money is revealed.
