Ship of Gold

‘An all action thriller’ Daily Mail

A fortune in lost gold. A disgraced soldier with nothing left to lose. And a salvage operation where no one can be trusted.

Captain Anthony Carter’s Army career is over. Convicted after a fatal car crash he insists he did not cause, he has exchanged life as an officer in an elite cavalry regiment for teaching tourists to swim on Portugal’s Algarve coast.

Then wealthy businessman Serrafino offers him a way out.

Off the Portuguese coast lies the wreck of the El Medina, a freighter lost during the Spanish Civil War while carrying a secret cargo of Republican gold to the Soviet Union. The bullion could be worth millions. Serrafino has the divers, the ship and the location. What he needs is someone who can keep his unruly crew under control long enough to bring the treasure to the surface.

For Carter, it should be a well-paid job lasting only a few weeks.

But the gold has attracted more than treasure hunters. As Carter is drawn deeper into the operation, he discovers a web of divided loyalties, political intrigue and ruthless ambition stretching far beyond the waters of the Atlantic. Men have already killed for the secrets surrounding the wreck, and they are prepared to kill again.

Carter may have lost his career, but not the instincts that once kept him alive.

And aboard this ship of gold, knowing who to trust could be the difference between fortune and death.
