OverviewAt the height of tourist season, an armoured car speeds across a crowded pier and sinks to the bottom of San Francisco Bay. By the time scuba divers reach the vehicle, the drivers of the car are gone and so is the cash. The police are convinced it's an inside job, but Vera Young, whose boyfriend was of one of the drivers, claims it was much more than a simple heist. Vera hires private investigator Cape Weathers to find the drivers before the police can, but what starts as a manhunt reveals an intricate criminal conspiracy. Cape and his deadly companion Sally follow a trail from the South China Sea to San Francisco in a race to take down a cabal of corrupt politicians and shady bankers protected by Chinese Triads, Russian smugglers, a drug-dealing pirate, and a giant octopus.
