Sunk in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean lies the remains of a U.S. submarine, its crew, and…numerous national secrets. For private investigator Trip Black, one riddle, in particular, remains to be solved—the sinking of the nuclear powered submarine USS Paddlefish along with his Uncle Matt and ninety-eight other souls onboard.

At the height of the Cold War, the USS Paddlefish became an enigmatic symbol, a projection of military might, and…a devastating weapon against the foes of the United States.

The black depths of the Atlantic now holds sway over Trip’s quest for truth and he will do everything in his power to bring the answer into the cold light of day.

Soon, Trip and his investigative partner Brian seek out federal assistance and begin to draw upon favors owed to them by several prominent D.C. legislators. Eventually, Trip’s hopes are answered when one such legislator allocates the necessary funds to raise the lost sub.

Unfortunately, there are other sinister agents and their covert agencies at work, and they intend to keep the sub, and its secrets where they are…in the murky embrace of the Atlantic Ocean. Trip now finds himself involved in a dangerous game and these people play for keeps. Now, it’s either get out or…go all in.

“Author Todd E. Shewmaker revisits the numbing fear caused by the Cold War and the inevitable secrets that remain alive, but unanswered, to this day,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Avid readers of Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt novels will appreciate the illuminating plot and intense action found in The Ticket."
