I 1896 flygtede fire englændere med deres bytte, en formue i uslebne diamanter, gennem den nådesløse Kalahari-ørken, stærkt forfulgt af en afrikansk stamme. Det lykkedes de fire mænd at komme om bord på det ventende HMS Rove, men en storm blæste op, og skibet forsvandt med alle ombordværende.Juan Cabrillo og hans besætning på det ombyggede fragtskib, Oregon, er med nød og næppe sluppet helskindet fra en mission på Congo-floden, da de opfanger et nødkald fra et skib, der er kommet under beskydning ud for den afrikanske kyst. Cabrillo kommer den smukke Sloane Macintyre til undsætning og erfarer bagefter, at hun var på skattejagt og håbede at finde det forsvundne skib med dets last af diamanter.Det undrer Cabrillo, at Macintyres skib blev beskudt, før hun havde fundet skatten. Det undrer ham endnu mere at høre om gigantiske slanger af metal, der huserer i det samme område, hvor hun har søgt. Dette er åbenbart en skattejagt, som for enhver pris skal stoppes, men det skal man ikke sige to gange til Cabrillo!

When an aerial attack is launched against Woodrow Wilson's yacht during a meeting among the Federal Reserve's branch leaders, Bell thwarts it, only to find that the strike was just the opening of an even deadlier gambit. It's up to Bell to find the link between the attack, the mysterious death of a Newport heiress, and growing evidence of an unimaginably audacious heist. Double-cross and betrayal are Bell's stock and trade, but this time, the deeper he delves into the puzzle, the less he seems to understand. He is in a race against his most ruthless opponent yet, to prevent a financial panic that would bring the United States to its knees.
