When jailed billionaire Charles Merrick suggestions publicly that he has stashed a fortune in an just offshore cache, a school of sharks converges upon his launch from federal prison.

Among his swindled victims is Judge Hammond Birk, the person who saved Gibson Vaughn’s life when he was a troubled teenager. Today Gibson intends to repay that debt by recovering Merrick’s victims’ cash.

But Gibson isn’t the only person on the path of the hidden fortune.

The promise of billions has attracted a horde of ruthless treasure hunters, including an edgy ex-con, a female bartender using a mysterious history, a Chinese language spy with a passion for fly-fishing, and a veritable army of hardened mercenaries. To remain prior to the sharks and earn justice for his mentor, Gibson will require all his formidable abilities. But by the end of the road, he’ll still need to encounter “Poisonfeather”-a geopolitical top secret that might just get Gibson killed…or worse.
