Turns out that Angela’s own father was a sailor and treasure hunter who was murdered just as he was closing in on the treasure.

But as Sarah Booth digs deeper into the case, she realizes that there’s much more going on than meets the eye. With untold amounts of treasure offering plenty of motive for murder, it’s hard to know who to trust. How far is Sarah Booth willing to go to unbury the truth and find the killer…before he finds her first?
