NY Times and international bestselling author Geoffrey Jenkins once again combines the speed and sophistication of an up-to-the-minute thriller with the appeal and romance of an historical adventure.
It was John Barrow who persuaded Ian Ogilvie to leave the oceanographic research center at Pretoria and to work day and night to evolve and build an electric shark barrier at Aguada da Boa Paz. It is only when Ogilvie arrives at the lonely and haunted place on the coast of Mozambique that he realizes that his presence echoes events of a hundred twenty years before, when another Ian Ogilvie and another John Barrow was hired by a Chinese opium merchant trader to captain a ship and undertake a dangerous mission under the nose of the British Royal Navy that ultimately ended in bitterness and disaster.
The barrier is completed on schedule. But in time for what? Ogilvie had come to know a little more of the strange obsessive Barrow who employed him, but he had not fathomed the true purpose of Barrow's urgent and mysterious preparations. Curiosity draws him into dangerous and frightening events and as they rise to a climax he is forced to fight through tragedy and near-death to reveal the secrets that lay below the shark infested waters just off the coast.
