About the book
A luxury cruise ship sinks off the Florida coast. The explosion is blamed on ecoterrorism, but Sloan McPherson isn’t buying the official story.
As a deep-water diver with the Underwater Investigation Unit, Sloan knows when something smells off. Clues are vanishing beneath the waves. A tropical storm is closing in. And the authorities seem far too eager to wrap things up.
What starts as a salvage operation quickly spirals into a high-stakes conspiracy. With each dive, Sloan uncovers more than just wreckage—she’s unearthing secrets someone would rather drown.
The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes. This wasn’t an accident. And whoever’s behind it has the money, power, and motive to make sure she never resurfaces with the truth.

For Captain Charles Hunter, gold in Spanish hands is gold for the taking in this thrilling treasure hunt, and the law of the land rests with those ruthless enough to make it.
Pirate Latitudes is Michael Crichton at his best: a brilliant adventure tale pulsing with relentless action, crackling atmosphere, and heart-pounding suspense.
