Rick Waters is a jack-of-all trades: treasure hunter, diver, part-time detective.
Never any good at holding down a steady job, Rick does whatever he can to make a living, from searching for stolen cars or missing persons, to catching and selling catfish from the bayou, or gambling in pool halls.
Whatever it takes to one day fulfill his dream: his very own fishing yacht and charter business!
Little does Rick know, his latest foray into the bayou with his metal detector will forever change his life.
From the bayous of southeast Texas to the seedier neighborhoods of Houston, from the sparkling beaches of the Virgin Islands to the Voodoo drug dens of Haiti, Rick’s quest to find a killer will take all of his wits and skill to stay alive and bring justice for a young woman’s murder.
And if he’s lucky, he might find some treasure after all.
