A gripping modern story of treasure, tragedy, and tenacity

This riveting narrative brings to life the decades-long quest of larger-than-life Mel Fisher – and of his family after his death – to find the sunken Spanish galleon Atocha and its 40 tons of treasure. Writing with you-are-there immediacy, Jedwin Smith captures like no other writer the romance of big-time treasure hunting as well as its sometimes horrible costs, taking us from astonishing discoveries of sunken gold and escapades in colorful Key West to fascinating true stories of deadly dives and complex legal battles.
