What does the dusty journal contain that is a matter of life and death? Why is someone prepared to pay Harry a fortune to get hold of it? He turns to marine historian Zola Khan to uncover the mysteries. At stake are millions of dollars and a terrorist plot to trigger nothing less than war... Literary Review: "Outrageously exciting.
