Blair Maynard, a free-lance writer and reporter for Today magazine, isn't happy with his mediocre journalistic success. He wants to break the BIG story. So, when he learns 610 vessels and their passengers have disappeared in the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Gulf Coast areas in the past three years, he charters a plane to investigate.

A nailbiter for sure, this was also an entertaining read. ( )
