About the Book

As the war ends, Nazi leaders scramble to save their lives as their dream of the Third Reich crumbles around them. Amidst the allied bombing raids over Berlin, valuable golden antiquities disappear from the Priam Treasure of the ancient City of Troy.

A German submarine returning from a secret mission involving the bizarre escape of four Nazi leaders from war-torn Germany loses a deadly battle with a Royal Air Force submarine hunter. As it sinks into its watery grave, the U-Boat releases a special capsule containing documents that reveal the secrets of its final missions.

Sixty years later, a scuba diver off the coast of Ireland finds a small sealed container bearing a swastika emblem.

Sean Dylan, a former Special Forces operative and adventurer, opens the cylinder to discover a series of encrypted documents that lead him on an incredible, international journey of intrigue and mystery.

The Neo-Nazi Underground Party wants the gold to rebuild itself into its former glory. The FBI wants to stop Dylan from discovering hidden secrets of the Second World War, while CSIS walks a delicate line between cooperating with the US agents and protecting their own interests.

The search for the truth about the fate of the gold taken from the Priam Treasure is a riveting story laced with deception and suspense.
