Death in a Carolina Swamp Jonathan Ross

Jack Slocum returns from the Mid-East killing fields to seek solace in the sleepy North Carolina town where he spent his summers as a boy. Everything starts out fine. He sleeps in his grandparents' fishing shack on the edge of the broad Brunswick River and spends his days roaming the nearby cypress swamp. Birds call from the trees. Crickets and other critters sing their songs. Then he stumbles across a German U-Boat - big, black, and ugly. Right in the middle of the swamp. Baffled, he invites his childhood friend, submarine analyst Amy Parker, to investigate. She jumps at the opportunity, never having met a submarine she didn't like, and curious to see just how Jack Slocum turned out. Catching wind of the discovery, treasure hunter Billie Green decides to come on over as well. Green arrives with a state-of-the-art salvage ship, a certain manner that takes Amy by storm, and a nasty approach to life that promises a deadly future for all involved.
