Buried At Sea

When seven million dollars in ancient gold coins vanish from a burned-out antique shop in Barcelona, legendary detective Sidney Fleet finds himself racing against time aboard the exclusive cruise ship Meridian Challenger. As Spanish authorities close in, demanding the ship's return to port, Fleet and his assistant Drew Peterson must unravel a web of deception involving a mysterious entomologist, his research assistant, and an elaborate ant farm that may hold more than just insects.

Known for solving complex crimes from the comfort of his ocean-view suite, the brilliant but eccentric Fleet faces one of his most ingenious cases yet. While maintaining his rigid schedule of three-mile morning walks and gourmet meals, he must determine how the coins disappeared, why a respected scientist appears heavily bandaged, and what connection a colony of ants might have to do with a daring heist.
