Publisher Description
Almost a hundred years ago, a major terrestrial event reshaped the earth's coastlines. Goodbye entire cities. Goodbye entire states. Goodbye entire countries. And when the authorities outlawed salvaging from these underwater cities, why say hello to a new breed of criminal: underwater reclamation specialists. Even a hundred years later, there's still a whole lot of loot for the reclaiming.
But it's not theft if you put it back, right?
After cracking an underwater vault in their first major heist in the Seattle Isles, Isa and her crew think they're on easy street again—that is, if they can figure out what it is exactly they stole. A question, they soon learn, where their very lives hang in the balance.
Thrust into a high-stakes game of subterfuge and deception by the local mob boss, Isa and her crew must scramble to unravel the mystery of what it is they stole while unseen forces move against them.
Harried. Threatened at every turn. Isa and her crew must stay one step ahead to stay alive.

Customer Reviews
Great story
Well described very live characters fill this story with an adventurous air. My only criticism is that in some places there is confusion about whom is saying what. Other than that a great story.

Four and a half stars!
In a not too distant future large areas of land are covered by oceans: cities, states and even countries are submerged. This submerging was quite sudden, after earthquakes and tsunamis as well as the upheaval of Teutonic plates. There was little, if any time, to remove valuables and so a new class of criminals was founded, who base their livelihoods on scavenging from the sunken cities. This book tells the tale of a trio of such criminals and the troubles they run into.
