The Wreck of Misericordia

About the Book

A Sunken Treasure

Deep in international waters off South Carolina rests a 400 year-old Spanish galleon laden with treasure worth a quarter of a billion dollars. Now, by using the high-teach Mohab One System, the treasure can be recovered.

A wealthy Cuban-American syndicate hires salvage expert Al Maderia to reclaim the treasure in the name of history. But nothing is what it seems. The Cuban government, fearing the syndicate intends to use the treasure to fund Cuban dissidents, will do anything to stop Maderia - and to get the treasure for itself.
