Learn moreFirst, a fishing trawler runs aground on the Massachusetts shore. Then, a young scuba diver sent to investigate the wreck is found floating lifeless in the water.
Doc Adams, the unhappy friend of the unlucky aquarian, has just been launched through the stormy seas and blood-flecked sands of the Cape Cod coast to plumb the depths of a murder he should have prevented. There he uncovers a hidden treasure in illegal arms and barely survives a near-fatal confrontation with a gun. That leaves the killers he’s hunting with the comfortable feeling that Doc is dead.
Now Doc can watch for the first wrong move they make…

Reviews
“Fast moving…A natural storyteller who sticks straight to the line.”
“Boyer is up there with the best.”
“Rick Boyer is from Boston and he knows the town. He also knows how to write; and the combination is terrifc.”
“Christopher Lane’s unceremonious voice duplicates the persona of Dr. Adams’s cool, calculated personality as he stumbles upon the pieces of this puzzling tale. Lane collects the additional characters we meet…giving each voice a refined contrast. His storytelling supports the listener throughout this fast-moving novel.”
