A shocking secret lies at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea.

When her journalism mentor is killed in a horrific plane crash, Kate Kingsbury travels to New York to lay him to rest. There, she discovers his quest to prove a Chinese fleet arrived in the Caribbean nearly a hundred years before the Europeans. As she follows his leads, she meets the charming Brian Yim, whose uncle -- a powerful Chinese oil magnate -- is searching for the fleet, too.

Is Brian seeking truth, or is he a mole for his uncle? And will Kate live long enough to find out?
