FINDERS
KEEPERS

With the exception of the British frigate De Braak, sunk in a storm off the coast of Delaware in 1798, it was the biggest underwater treasure in the Western Hemisphere: ten million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold ingots, emeralds, and uncut diamonds, locked in the fuselage of a DC-3, lying half-buried on the ocean floor and guarded by the remains of two men, one woman and a very small boy.

The fortune was there for the taking, and ready to grab it were a blueblooded oilman with his own off-shore rig, a hood so cold and independent that even the Mafia couldn't do business with him and a psychopathic hired assassin.

Against them stood one man, and those were his people, those skeletons in their watery coffin.  His name was Talbot, and he would bury his dead - but only after he had avenged their murders.

The Guns of Navarone

An entire navy had tried to silence the guns of Navarone and failed.  Full-scale attacks had been driven back.  Now they were sending in just five men, but each of them was a specialist in dealing death.

The novel that gave birth to one of the most exciting war movies of all time is vintage MacLean.
