Book Description
The History and Legends of Lake Ronkonkoma, the Princess Curse and Other Stories; A Lifeguard's View, discusses the history and the folklore of Long Island's largest lake. It builds a strong case for the Princess legend. The author consulted professional opinions, of paranormal experts, who generally believe curses are real, not superstition. He also consulted many sources on Lake Ronkonkoma, to focus in on the fact that a young male has drowned almost every year, and that few females have died in the Lake. In fact it remains, that possibly only one female lost her life. Her official cause of death was kidney failure, caused by secondary drowning. The volume also chronicles the lifeguard career of the author, David S. Igneri. His lifeguards at the lake and his other beaches were, in general gifted athletes. However, to lifeguard Lake Ronkonkoma they needed specific training that was not covered in their regular lifeguard preparation. At first, Igneri himself, did not totally understand the task before him. However, he sought advice from older lifeguards, and read everything he could about Ronkonkoma, and formulated a program. In his early years he did not believe in the Princess Curse at all, and believed it was only superstition. His experiences during that time, made him re-think his views. Gradually he realized that some force or entity was causing, or helped causing the many deaths. David Igneri began to change his policies at Lake Ronkonkoma on July 5, 1965. He totally believes that the spirits told him what to do. His goal became to protect and save all of the people, all of the time, and stop the legend. After reading this volume, you will have to decide for yourself, how much success he had in this endeavor.

Book Description
Dare to Dive Into the Depths of This Provocative New Thriller 1937. Two Gestapo agents arrive in Lake Ronkonkoma, New York, to assume control of a secret German naval operation. They successfully blend into the small village, going virtually unnoticed. 1989. Gordon, a CIA agent stationed in Israel, meets Mona, an American woman finishing her tour of duty in the Israeli Defense Forces. They begin a short and torrid relationship that ends poorly. An assignment from a mysterious man brings Mona back to the United States to learn about some decades-old bones recently uncovered on the shore of Lake Ronkonkoma. Mona is surprised to cross paths with Gordon, who is now covertly operating with the FBI and is assisting in their investigation of the "remains case" at the lake. They begin to untangle mysteries, starting with what the German Navy was secretly constructing at the lake in 1937. As they investigate, they discover disturbing evidence of a conspiracy begun several years before the United States entered World War II. Corruption within the Vatican, Gestapo agents still active on American soil, and several murders complicate matters for Mona and Gordon. As they put the pieces together, they learn that an encrypted message has been sent to an unknown recipient by an outmoded, yet operational German Enigma Machine. The Terminal Call has been made. Will the havoc that ensues result in a catastrophic conclusion? Only one man who is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice knows the answer.
