Dirk Pitt's nemesis is a wealthy Chinese smuggler who has made a fortune in human slavery. Tracking his nefarious activities leads Pitt from Washington State to Louisiana, where the Chinese slaves are constructing a shipping port in the middle of nowhere. The trail Pitt follows leads to the mysterious sinking of a ship that Chiang Kai-shek filled with treasure when he fled China in 1949. As Pitt prepares for a final showdown, he finds himself face-to-face with his most formidable opponent ever.
