Are the murders related to the crew finding the wreckage of a long-lost slave ship reputed to have contained a vast treasure? Or did they discover something else much more sinister? When Caitlin realizes what it is, quickly locating the evil terrorists is crucial before their diabolical plan can be set in motion. With the help of Cort Wesley, who's unexpectedly released from prison, along with others from her past, Caitlin is again victorious, but at what cost.
Using flashbacks of the history concerning the slave ship and the people involved with its cargo adds an amazing dimension to this story and its final resolution. As always, Jon Land writes with atmospheric clarity of time and place, as well as characterization. This is a series that fans of really well-written, entertaining thrillers should not miss. It's one of the very best.
Book Summary
1818:In the Gulf waters off the Texas coast, the pirate Jean Lefitte and his partner Jim Bowie launch an attack on the Mother Mary, a slave ship carrying an invaluable treasure.
The Present:Fifth-generation Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong finds herself investigating the murder of the oil-rig crew that had found the long-lost wreckage of the Mother Mary.

With the stakes higher than any she has encountered before, Caitlin races to find the connection between the secret treasure of the Mother Mary and the deadly secret hidden on the bottom of the ocean.
Caitlin's only chance to defeat the terrorists lies in the darkest reaches of the Louisiana bayou. In the end, only the strongest of vengeance can win the day.
