First published 1995
The crew of an ocean-going tugboat spots an abandoned Chinese radar vessel drifting alone in the Pacific waters. Maritime salvage law appears to hand them a fortune on a silver platter. The ship carries millions of dollars in classified electronic equipment, and they have every legal right to claim it. But seizing their prize proves far more dangerous than the crew anticipated. What should be a straightforward salvage operation turns into something much deadlier. The abandoned vessel holds secrets that someone will kill to protect. As the tugboat crew attempts to secure their windfall, they discover that some treasures come with a price too steep to pay. Their dreams of easy money transform into a fight for survival against forces they never expected to encounter.
