As daring and defiant as Kirk Douglas journeying 20,000
Leagues Under the Sea, there’s no stopping diver Hawk Ridley as he takes the
plunge into a briny world of untold riches and danger.
The Caribbean is a fortune hunter’s dream, salted with the
gold of galleons long ago claimed by the deep. Now Hawk’s headed for the
Windward Passage of Haiti to stake his claim. But a rival team has also
picked up the scent, and they’re willing to turn the sea red with blood to get
to the gold first.
Fighting off ruthless competitors is
nothing new to Hawk…but fighting off a beautiful woman is a different
story. Is she an innocent stowaway or a seductive saboteur? Between
the cool millions lying on the bottom of the ocean, and the boiling-hot race to
grab it, Hawk’s about to find the answer and make a discovery Twenty Fathoms
Down that will blow you out of the water.

“Thrilling Adventure From The Master
Story Teller.”
Hawk Ridley is after sunken treasure, and he has the
coordinates to the ship lying on the ocean floor near Haiti. But the Mercer
brothers are also after the gold bullion, and a chest of jewels, and will not
stop at murder to obtain them. They work Ocean Salvage, owned by Charles
Stanton, and Hawk must not let them near enough to upset his own dreams. But
then everything changes when Stanton’s beautiful daughter, Frederick “Vick”
Stanton is found on his boat, wearing a wedding dress. What could possibly be
going on?
There is murder at twenty fathoms, and Hawk’s ship, the Stingaree
is sunk while he is below recovering the treasure. Watching in awe as his ship
goes down, taking with it the last of his air supply, Hawk knows he may never
live to enjoy the treasure.
This was another fascinating sea adventure by a master
story teller, filled with plenty of action and suspense, and great characters. Originally published in the September 1934 issue of FIVE-NOVELS Magazine. Highly recommended for adventure lovers, and readers that love a well-crafted
yarn.
