Ben Bones, Genealogical Consultant and self-described Articulator of Family Skeletons, is on vacation at Holden Beach on the coast of North Carolina. He figures he'll have a quiet and relaxing time, that is, until he discovers a 12 year old boy's corpse buried on the beach and is swept up into a local madman's machinations.It's all about a sunken Spanish treasure ship, "La Reina de La Fiesta" (The Belle of the Ball), the hurricane history of the Cape Fear region, and the search for missing artifacts.
