And the clock is ticking.Harvey Bennett was supposed to be on vacation.A week in the Caribbean with his best friend, Reggie, sounded simple enough-sun, sand, and maybe a little deep-sea diving while Sarah Lindgren, Reggie's archaeologist girlfriend, attended a conference in San Juan. But when an injured man stumbles into the bar, crying for help, Ben and Reggie are pulled into a mystery that runs centuries deep.The wreck's location is no accident.
