He left that life behind. But that life hasn't left him . . .

The hard-won peace of Harry Fletcher's life is about to be shattered when the sins of his past come colliding with his present.

Living off the coast of South Africa on the peaceful island of St Mary's, Harry runs a tourist fishing boat. But when his latest clients show up with very specific instructions for Harry - instructions that suggest they know exactly who he is - it's very clear it's a different catch these men have in mind.

Before he knows it, Harry has been swept back into a world of greed and violence, of men who will do anything to get their hands on the treasure under the sea, and of women who are too beautiful to trust.

But when the Great Mogul diamond is the prize, all Harry knows is that he'll do anything to get there first . . .
