520 |a "Miami photojournalist Carol Dawson arrives in Key West to cover a whale beaching. The vast gentle animals have been tragically casting themselves ashore, their navigational instincts gone haywire. But Carol's real story is to investigate rumors that the U.S. Navy misfired and lost the prototype for its new Panther missile. Using a state-of-the-art ocean 'telescope,' Carol hopes to grab the Panther and expose a Navy cover-up. She covertly charters the diving boat Florida Queen, captained by Nick Williams, a woman-hating Ivy League dropout still scarred by a traumatic youthful affair. But Nick has his own agenda. Cheated out of his share of a sunken treasure, Nick wants to get even with his ex-partners--a kinky pair whose s-m games turn lethal when their secret gold hoard is threatened...Then Carol discovers underwater tracks, a disappearing reef, and a hole in the sea bed--where the Panther should be. Suddenly Carol, Nick, and Troy are dragged into the heart of a terrifying unearthly secret." -- Dust jacket.
