The man she loved vanished at sea off Guadeloupe. Riley followed his clues halfway around the world until the trail went cold in Thailand. Now she lives alone aboard her boat at anchor, checks for a message that never comes, and tells herself she's done with ghosts.
Then a letter arrives, addressed to Marguerite Riley. Nobody calls her that. I knew your grandfather, the letter says. I have something I promised to deliver to you.
Her grandfather went missing in 1945.
In a crowded Bangkok market, a ninety-three-year-old stranger with war medals on his cap presses a golden relic into her hand. He explains that her grandfather gave it to him when they last met in the Philippines on board a submarine.
What's the sub's name? she asks.
“The USS Bonefish,” he whispers.
The name her father gave every boat he ever owned. The name painted on Riley's own transom.
“Keep this safe,” the old man says. “There are others who want it.” Seconds later, she's running for her life, and the hooded stranger who pulls her out of the fire is someone she'd know anywhere.
He's supposed to be dead.
A real lost submarine. A real legend of stolen gold. And one woman who can't stop chasing ghosts.
For readers of Clive Cussler, James Rollins, and Steve Berry. Dragon's Triangle is Book Two of The Shipwreck Adventures, where history's unsolved maritime disappearances meet the conspiracies that never died.
