THE USS PRESIDENT COOLIDGE LAY QUIET BENEATH THE WAVES, AND AT PEACE. BUT THAT PEACE WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

Deep within the now rotting hull lie several small iron chests filled with gold coins: double eagles, eagles, half eagles and quarter eagles, all of them of rare vintages. The yacht Belle sets out from Townsville, Australia, bound for the island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu. The three friends on board are determined to seek those eagles out, to dive, to cut and force their way deep into the bowels of that once mighty passenger liner, but they are not alone. They are tracked to the island by others determined to hijack the coins, regardless of the cost.

Another thriller from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones.
