Ben Harmes has returned home to the Outer Banks of North Carolina following two life-shattering tragedies: the death of his wife and a forced early retirement from the Boston Police Department. A whirlpool of depression, drinking and remorse has ultimately left him drained, and despondent. When his fishing buddy mysteriously disappears, Harmes sets out to discover what really happened. As his investigation unfolds, he enlists the help of Sophie Carson, his friend's former business partner, and the adventure escalates. This is a tale of lost Nazi treasure, a sunken World War II U-boat...and what appears to be the systematic murder of members of the dive team that attempt to reclaim the treasure. Kidnappings, treachery and deceit create a gut-wrenching mystery as Harmes seeks to solve the murders and come to grips with his own demons.
