"Some losses cut to the bone... The suspicious drowning death of Captain Edward Eubank breaks archaeologist Faye Longchamp's heart. It also confuses her, because he was found in scuba gear and she's never heard him even mention scuba diving. During their last conversation, he told her that he believed he'd found a storied shipwreck, but when Faye checks it out, she finds nothing there - not a plank, not a single gold coin, nothing. If there's no treasure, then why is her friend dead? Surrounded by a community struggling in the aftermath of a major hurricane that has changed the very landscape, Faye grapples not only with the loss of her friend and her beloved island home, but also her missing daughter, who had taken a boat out to meet up with her much-older boyfriend, and has not been heard from since.

Now there's nothing she won't do to find her daughter, and justice for the man she fears was murdered."--Provided by publisher
