450 years ago a treasure??ship went down. In Miami, the heat hasn't let up??yet...Hap Tyler tailboards on Biscayne bay, hears??voices, seduces young women, and lives on the edge??of history in his family's old-money mansion amid??Miami's pastel glitz. But while Hap stumbles around??in the shadow of his more successful older??brother, Daniel, a tangled web of deception and greed is??being spun around him --a web that leads Daniel to??his death.
Trying to solve his brother's murder, Hap??collides with a 450-year-old secret: the disappearance??of $400 million in a sunken Spanish plunder.??Daniel's upscale girlfriend is close to digging up the??treasure, an avaricious senator has already tasted??it, and a stone-cold killer will stop at nothing??to bring it home. For Hap a dark and bloody vein of??Florida and family history has been opened. And??the only way to close it is through a modern ritual??of violence and truth.
