SummaryI magine hurricane winds over the Sahara Desert, preceded
by a cavalry of tornadoes. Imagine dunes flattened, then
resculpted. Then imagine all that at the bottom of the sea.
A Category Four hurricane has swept the west coast of
Florida, creating havoc, changing lives, and reshaping the
ocean bottom. Well-known reefs and wrecks have been covered
up-and new ones have emerged. The old woman who visits Doc
Ford's lab late one night has a haunting story, of a loved
one lost while rendezvousing with a German submarine off the
coast of Florida sixty years earlier, of her belief that he
was being blackmailed and that the storm has given her a
second chance to prove his innocence by uncovering the wreck
of his boat-and the truth-if only Ford would look for it.
Intrigued, Ford agrees, and sets in motion a chain of events
that will change his life forever. For there are other
things in that wreck as well, and other men want those
things, men willing to commit terrible acts to get them. And
the woman herself-the woman is not what she seems. . . .
