May 1942: The Nazis torpedo the HMS EDINBURGH on convoy duty, sending the British cruiser and a reported thirteen tons of Russian gold to the bottom.

Fifty years later: In the salvage of the century, English, American and Russian searchers combine forces to recover the sunken treasure from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean . . . or so it seems. Among them is Will Altman, a veteran navy diver recruited by a secretive government agent. To him, this is just a job, a favor even, for his country. He does not realize that each country has its own shadowy agenda, its and own secret knowledge of what lies beneath the sea.

Several divers and crew members meet with violent, inexplicable deaths, and Altman discovers that he is a pawn in a potentially devastating superpower conflict over a fifty-year-old secret—a secret that could rewrite history and bring down governments, a secret that the president himself would kill to keep hidden.

"DEEP GOLD is deep sea adventure in the tradition of Peter Benchley and Clive Cussler..."—Charles Pellegrino, author of HER NAME, TITANIC

"An undersea salvage classic to rank with the best of Alistair MacLean for heart-pounding twists and men more treacherous and dangerous than any monsters of the deep. A crackling good read from keel to masthead."—Donald N. Norman, author of THUNDER STATION
