A dead boy with a map tattooed on his face is a warning. Beware: don't go after the Nazi treasure.
But Jonathan Hunt has never been good at following the rules. Not even when he's on a spiritual retreat at a haunted lagoon in northern Italy.
Seventeen-year-old Lucia is desperate to escape the clam-dredging mud of Italy’s Po River Delta. The map promises buried Nazi-looted art, but the delta belongs to an Albanian smuggling cartel. In these waters, amateur treasure hunters usually end up at the bottom of the swamp.
Ex-CIA operative Jonathan Hunt didn't come to Italy to save a teenager. He came to recover his soul. His only ally is Klaus Richter, a German pastor who runs his church like a combat outpost and his Bible studies like interrogations.
When Lucia’s midnight expedition intersects with Hunt’s operation, the two missions violently collide. Suddenly, Hunt is unarmed, underwater, and trying to keep a teenager alive while arguing theology with a priest who just used a speedboat as a battering ram.
The Albanians have the guns. The locals have the secrets. And somewhere in the freezing black water sits a prize worth killing for.
Hunt is about to learn that in the delta, the monsters don't hide in the dark. They run the dredging fleet.
Genre: Thriller
