Publisher's Synopsis
On the bottom of the icy sea off Nantucket lie the battered remains of the Italian luxury liner, ANDRIA DORIA. But few know that within her bowels lies a priceless pre-Columbian antiquity - a treasure that now holds the key to a puzzle that is costing people their lives. For Kurt Austin, the leader of a courageous National Underwater Marine Association (NUMA) exploration team, the killing begins when he makes a daring rescue of a beautiful marine atchaeologist. The target of a powerful Texas industrialist named Halcon, Nina Kirov was attacked off the coast of Morocco after her discovery of a carved stone head which may prove that Christopher Columbus was not the first European to discover America. Soon Kurt and Nina embark on a deadly mission to uncover Halcon's masterful plan - an insidious scheme that would have him ride to power on a wave of death and destruction.
