Ma l’innocente “gita di pesca” di copertura, che avrebbe permesso di mettere a punto le ultime mosse, si misteriosamente conclusa in tragedia. Solo la Numa pu intervenire per recuperare i resti del cabinato da pesca sul quale viaggiava il progettista, ma nemmeno Dirk Pitt e Al Giordino sono consapevoli dell’importanza dell’impresa che stanno per affrontare. Non tarderanno per a rendersene conto, costretti da subito a difendersi dall’attacco di uno spietato commando, pronto a tutto pur di recuperare quello che c’era a bordo.

Affiancato da un’affascinante agente del NCIS, Pitt indaga, mentre i pericoli per lui e per i suoi uomini si moltiplicano e la soluzione del mistero sembra sempre pi lontana…
