About this book

In 1695, an English pirate buried treasure in a maze of booby-trapped tunnels on an island off the coast of Maine. For three hundred years, no one has successfully penetrated this fortress. A treasure hunter and his high-tech, million-dollar recovery team attempt an operation to unlock the labyrinth's secrets. However, their computers begin to fail, and crew members start to die. The island has protected its secrets for centuries and resists giving them up.
