, Wild’s deep-sea salvage company Atlantis is celebrating its recovery of a huge haul of gold and silver coins from a wreck near Gibraltar that is believed to be that of La Fortuna, a Spanish ship blown up by the British in 1805. La Fortuna was known to be carrying gold gathered all over South America to fund the Spanish war effort. Wild and his crew claim to have found it by chance. Now the Spanish government wants it back.
Mostly, however, this is the story of the unlikely A-Team who get the job done. Alex is a callow and buttoned-up new graduate recently recruited into the culture ministry and singled out by the minister for his enthusiasm; Lucia , a free-wheeling rebel working in historical preservation; and Jonas Pierce, an American specialist in marine law with a puzzlingly passionate commitment to the Spanish cause.
Legal wrangles go back and forth repeatedly while, behind the scenes, Alex and Lucia kindle, smother and then re-kindle a relationship. Jonas Pierce and Wild also have a relationship, as it turns out, that goes back to student days, when Jonas lost his brother to one of Wild’s mad schemes. This time, like every time they rub up against each other, it’s personal. Not that it feels especially personal; emotions are stated rather than felt.
