Circle of Bones

Based on one of the strangest true mysteries of World War II, Christine Kling's new adventure thriller CIRCLE OF BONES begins aboard the ill-fated French submarine Surcouf as she departs Bermuda in 1942 on her final voyage into the Caribbean.

Fast forward to 2008 when former U.S. Marine Maggie Riley is sailing alone aboard her forty-foot sailboat. She rescues a crazy conspiracy-spouting treasure hunter/archeologist who is swimming nude off the island of Guadeloupe. She soon learns he is searching for the wreck of the submarine Surcouf that vanished in 1942. He claims the sub holds millions in gold coins as well as secret documents that will prove the existence of a powerful inner circle of Skull and Bones whose goal is to keep America at war. And he asks for her help in decoding the journals that are the key to the location of the wreck. Riley joins Cole's search for the wreck when she discovers her own past intersects the inner Circle of Bones, and this conspiracy nut might not be so crazy after all.
