148 TONS OF BROKEN STEEL. ONE CHANCE TO MOVE IT.Jack Tolliver knows exactly where the Reliant is going to break.

He has been underneath her.

He has put his hands against steel so rotten it moves when he pushes it.

The sixty-eight-foot salvage vessel is stranded on a reef in Death’s Door, loaded with thousands of gallons of diesel and flexing against the rock every four seconds. One hard southwest blow could split her open and send the fuel into one of the most dangerous passages on the Great Lakes.

There is only one problem.

The Reliant belongs to Carl Voss.

The man Jack helped put behind bars.

Now a federal court has appointed Jack custodian of Voss’s boat and ordered him to get her off the reef before she becomes an environmental disaster. Worse, the bond requires Jack to work with Voss’s old crew—people who neither trust nor forgive him.

Among them is Britt Halvorsen, the diver Jack once pulled out of a wreck at 190 feet.

The other diver never came home.

And Britt knows something about that day she has never told anyone except Carl Voss.

Jack has problems of his own. His right shoulder is failing. His boat is too small to pull the Reliant free. The hull is coming apart faster than his crew can repair it. And when the Coast Guard finally decides the safest solution is to cut the wreck into pieces, Jack is left with one narrow window to prove everyone wrong.

A rented pump.

A borrowed tug.

A cable anchored to the lakebed.

A broken boat that weighs 148 tons.

And less than two hours of water high enough to move her.

Jack Tolliver has spent his life bringing things back from places they were never supposed to survive.

This time, the thing he has to save belongs to the man who hates him most.

Great for fans of Clive Cussler and Peter Heller.
