Repairman Jack · #8
The ninth Repairman Jack novel begins with a tragedy that throws Jack
together with his brother Tom, a judge from Philadelphia. They've never
been close and Jack, the career criminal, soon finds that he adheres to
a higher ethical standard than his brother the judge.
Determined
to get to know his brother better, Tom convinces Jack to go on a wild
treasure hunt together. Armed only with a map pointing the way to a
desolate wreck off the coast of Bermuda, the brothers come across
something much stranger, and much more dangerous than mere treasure.
