Open water. Dangerous discoveries.The story

01 / The discovery

They have every reason
to sail away.

Except the children who might still be alive.

Trout and Sage Blackwell are exploring a pirate wreck in the Dominican Republic when a recovered clue leads them to a remote beach—and the bones of a child.

But the trail leads inland, toward people with the money to buy silence and the men to enforce it. Asking questions is enough to draw their attention. Finding answers could make the Blackwells the next people to disappear.

“Not the cactus. That asshole is yours.”

03 / The man behind the story

Called Rowdy for decades.
For good reason.

Entrepreneur, traveler, father of six, and lifelong questioner of conventional wisdom. Rowdy writes about human nature, the uses and abuses of power, and love that holds up when life gets complicated.

And even in the darkest moments, there’s room for a little irreverent humor.
