624 pages · First published 2016
While searching the Black Sea for an Ottoman wreck, Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino answer a freighter's Mayday and find its crew dead before an explosion sinks the evidence. Their investigation links nuclear smugglers, Ukrainian conflict, a Cold War bomber, and treasure spirited away during the Russian Revolution. Dirk Jr. and Summer pursue a dangerous technology developer whose work intersects with the same international scheme. Complex and relentless, this thriller suits readers who enjoy Black Sea operations, Romanov legends, lost aircraft, and multiple maritime plots converging around weapons that must not reach their buyers.
