When tragedy strikes and everything she loves is threatened, Faye Longchamp will resort to desperate measures. Because 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?

But the situation quickly escalates beyond a murder mystery. 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, but with her fears for her daughter, who is being romanced by a man who may be very dangerous.

As a professional with her own consulting firm, Faye had long ago given up her "anything goes" attitude when the law stood between her and an interesting dig. Now that recklessness is back, and there's nothing she won't do to protect her daughter.

      The aftermath of a hurricane that hits the Big Bend region of northern Florida provides the backdrop for Evans’s intricate 13th mystery featuring archaeologist Faye Longchamp-Mantooth (after 2019’s Catacombs). Faye’s husband, Joe Mantooth, is doing his part to help by using his new toy—a drone—to document the devastation with aerial pictures. When Faye notices a dark spot in the sea on one of Joe’s photos, she calls on Captain Eubanks
      , her amateur historian friend, to help her identify it. Could it be the silhouette of a long-lost ship? Less than a day later, the captain’s body washes ashore. His death is quickly deemed a diving accident by harried police, who are busy trying to control looters and locate people who are unaccounted for. Then someone steals Joe’s phone and computer, and destroys his drone. Evans smoothly integrates fascinating historical and archaeological lore into Faye’s quest for the truth behind the captain’s death. This long-running regional series shows no signs of losing steam. Agent: Anne Hawkins, John Hawkins & Assoc.
