"La famiglia e un tema ricorrente e centrale della mia narrativa. Il mio nuovo romanzo attraversa la storia di una famiglia lungo diverse generazioni, concentrandosi questa volta sul rapporto tra fratelli e sorelle, su come si amano, si feriscono e tradiscono, ma anche su come si stimano e si sacrificano l''uno per l''altro. Sono emozionato alla prospettiva di condividere questo nuovo libro con tutti i miei lettori." (Khaled Hosseini)

Commander Jerry Derham, charged with investigating the incident, rushes to see marine archaeologists Kate Wetherall and Lou Bates. The one-time couple specialize in deep-sea-diving and the scientific study of shipwrecks. Jerry needs to get the pair down to the ocean floor -- fast. None of them are prepared for what they find there. Someone on the Titanic had been keeping a secret: one that cost lives. A secret that has remained trapped beneath the ocean for a hundred years. And now there are those who would kill again to get hold of what one man died for in 1912 ...
