Description
WHAT IF THE TITANIC NEVER STRUCK AN ICEBERG?
On April 15, 1912, the "unsinkable" Titanic went down, taking 1,500 souls with it. But what if that sinking was no accident?
Cut to the present: Senator Everett Van Wick survives an assassination attempt, thanks to a small-town doctor. But now, the doctor knows too much and becomes the target himself.
Cue EDEN BLACK. What starts as a simple rescue soon becomes a high-stakes conspiracy led by the senator's reclusive father. But, when Eden learns that a relic in the bowels of the stricken ocean liner holds a clue to the Van Wick's shady success, she knows there's only one thing to do.
From the British Museum to the ocean's darkest depths, and finally to the clandestine passages of the Van Wick Estate, the TITANIC DECEPTION is the latest pulse-pounding chapter in the Amazon #1 Bestselling Eden Black Archaeological Thriller Series.
