A forgotten treasure, another chapter in his history

David Gibbins brings forth the aquatic archeologist Jack Howard, and this time he's on the trail of something that even he wouldn't of thought possible, the holy grail and it even intersects with something even more murky for him and his daughter, their families past. From a ship wreck off the Cornish coast all the way to a former British colony they and IMU are led to South America all with a zealous cult, a leftover from the Spanish inquisition on their heels. They'll travel the globe following their ancestors footsteps, taking them to the modern silver mines of South America and their blood soaked origins that fueled the Spanish empire and age of piracy. Its a historical thriller that leaves you wide eyed and turning the page to the end.
