When a terrified roughneck walks into the New Orleans offices of Hastings, Tanner & Vance with a Ziploc bag containing a dead man's phone, he brings more than just a salvage case. He brings proof of a massacre.
The official report says the Deep Star 4 rig explosion was a tragic accident caused by a gas kick. But the recovered audio logs tell a darker story: the rig wasn't drilling for oil. It was conducting a destabilization test on a massive, volatile methane hydrate field known as The Dragon.
Now, a shadow corporation backed by foreign intelligence is preparing to finish the job. They have deployed a second massive drillship, the Titan, to the same coordinates with orders to drill at any cost. Their goal is to weaponize the geology of the Gulf, triggering a submarine landslide that could send a tsunami crashing into the US coast.
While attorney Sal Tanner fights a losing battle in a federal court that has been silenced by National Security orders, strategist Clay Hastings and fixer Darius Hayes must take the fight to the high seas.
Racing against an incoming hurricane and a ruthless mercenary team, Clay must board the Titan and stop the drill before it punctures the Dragon's heart. But in the deep water, the law doesn't apply-and the only thing deadlier than the storm is the secret lying on the ocean floor.
Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler and John Grisham, The Dragon's Map is a high-octane Maritime Legal Techno-Thriller about the thin line between corporate greed and an act of war.
