One of the greatest maritime mysteries of all time. In sixteen thirty two, the Spanish treasure galleon, the Santa Ana, sails from Cartagena, Colombia. She is never seen again.

Jon and Jenny Hunt have bought a refurbished house in Antigua and discover an artefact which directly relates to the Santa Ana. The only problem is that it was found where the Galleon could never have been.

Malcolm Macgregor is the owner of a deep-sea salvage company and has long been intrigued by the story of the Santa Ana. He tracks down the descendants of the owners of the galleon and discovers that the ship never even made it as far as Cuba. Now it’s feasible to look for her. He has the ship, the staff and expertise to do just that.

The search proves fruitless. Then, by chance, Malcolm hears about Jon’s discovery so Jon and Jenny join the search. A suggestion by Jon, supported by help from his old friend Brian Pearce, now an Admiral back in the UK, gives them a chance of finding her.

The value of her cargo is in the billions. Keeping a secret when the stakes are so high is never going to be easy. The location of her whereabouts leaks out and a race begins to cash in on her cargo. But the mystery hasn’t given up all its secrets and it’s up to Jon and Jenny to finally work out what really happened to the Santa Ana.

This is the eleventh book chronicling the life and times of Jonathon Hunt from his career in the Royal Navy, to his attempt at a quiet retirement, sailing the Caribbean with his new wife.
