Publisher's Synopsis
In the beginning it seemed a simple enough job. The contract to salvage the cargo of the Doria, wrecked off the Majorca coast, was straightforward and promised a nice profit for Nick Thorne and his Spanish partner, Domingo Peroni. But the only road from the beach to the market where the cargo must be sold ran through the private grounds of Casares Manasco, whom Peroni had offended.
So this matter of business rapidly developed into a duel between the powerful, implacable Manasco and Nick, who was urged on by a blind necessity to fight when the odds seemed impossible.
