Soon the island is swarming with marine archaeologists and treasure hunters. Itβs good news for Natalieβand for the Gray Whale Innβuntil a body turns up floating near the wreck. Natalie finds herself immersed in the world of pirates and sunken treasure, both past and present. Will she solve the mystery and find the killer in time? Or will Natalie be the next to join the lost shipβs crew, down in Davy Jonesβ locker?
