Position Uncertain: A Shipwreck, A Betrayal, A Daughter's Reckoning

By Michael Maricle

When restoration expert Mara Voss finally opens the safety deposit box her father left behind six years ago, she finds a hand-drawn nautical chart, a five-word warning in his failing script - Found it. Don't trust Reyes - and a debt she never agreed to inherit.

Her father spent thirty years chasing the wreck of the Sint Walburga, a Dutch merchant ship that vanished off the coast of Mozambique in 1641 carrying a fortune in stolen silver - and a secret about why she really sank. He died before he could prove it, convinced that his oldest collaborator had betrayed him.

Now Tomas Reyes wants to finish what he and her father started twenty years ago. A collector who has wanted the wreck since before Mara was born wants it badly enough to have her ambushed in her own hotel room. And somewhere on the back of a four-hundred-year-old chart is a set of coordinates her father trusted no one - not even the man he spent two decades working beside - enough to share.

To find the truth about the Walburga, Mara will have to decide how much of her father's suspicion she's willing to inherit, and how much trust she's willing to risk on a man he warned her, from beyond the grave, not to believe.

Some things are worth finding. Others are worth understanding why they were lost in the first place.
