A dog finds a skeleton on a Namibian beach. The secret buried with it could set the Middle East on fire.
Rex Dalton has promised his family six months with no missions. No operations, no phone calls in the night. Just the cold Atlantic, the dunes of the Skeleton Coast, and time with Catia, the twins, and their baby daughter.
Then a spring tide strips the sand from the beach at Langstrand, and Digger, Rex's special forces dog, finds what it has hidden for forty-seven years: the bones of an Israeli submarine commander, with a brass key on a lanyard around his neck.
In 1979 an American satellite recorded a double flash over the South Atlantic. The world still argues about what it saw. A small submarine that officially never existed knows the answer, and she has been lying on the seabed off Africa ever since, with her crew and the proof still sealed inside her vault.
Israel wants that truth buried forever. Someone else will pay any price to dig it up. And someone inside the operation is selling Rex's every move.
With a fake treasure hunt on the surface, a midget submarine in the dark below, and a team of special forces divers working ninety meters down against the clock, Rex has to bring the dead home and the evidence out before the most dangerous man the world believes is dead gets there first.
The Skeleton Key is Book 17 in the Rex Dalton K9 Thriller series and can be read as a standalone.
Genre: Thriller
