boats and boating

Fishing-obsessed Casey James loved spending time aboard the Orca II, his dad's charter boat. The coastal waters south of San Francisco provided great fishing and adventure. Each fall the waters surrounding the Farallon Islands become populated with large and powerful great white sharks. This extremely aggressive species holds the interest of many, especially fourteen-year-old Casey. A late October fishing trip took an unexpected turn when the Orca II received an emergency SOS from the S.S. Atlantis. Shortly before the huge freighter sank to the depths of the Pacific, Casey and his dad rescued the crew. A mystery involving a long-protected secret from the past began to surface from the catastrophe. A twenty-five-foot great white shark and a surfing copetition with a $500,000 grand prize only add to the chaos and mystery of the Monster of Farallon Islands!"--Back cover.

So is it destiny, irony, or just bad luck when Wrecker comes across a speedboat that has run hard aground on a sand flat? The men in the boat don't want Wrecker to call for help--in fact, they'll pay him to forget he ever saw them. Wrecker would be happy to forget, but he keeps seeing these men all over Key West--at the marina, in the cemetery, even right outside his own door. And now they want more than his silence--they want a lookout. He'll have to dive deep into their shady dealings to figure out a way to escape this tangled net. . . ..
