DI Andy Horton pays attention when his partner, Sgt. Barney Cantelli, reports his nephew, Johnnie Oslow, is missing. Johnnie had a run-in with the law as a juvenile, but now he sails competitively for Greek magnate Xander Andreadis. It turns out that Xander has been on Europol's radar for possible international jewel theft. Johnnie, by all accounts, has been clean for a few years, but suddenly his old criminal buddies are being murdered systematically. Andy suspects that Johnnie is being held hostage, but it's a mad rush to figure out where and why. Meanwhile, Andy's long-running quest to learn the truth about his mother (she disappeared when he was a boy) gnaws at him continuously.
VERDICT Case number ten in Rowson's marine mystery series (after Undercurrent) would be stronger if Andy were out on the water more
