A dead man. A billion-dollar secret. And an oil company that will destroy anyone who gets close. When her brother turns up dead, Ashley Marcum has nowhere to turn — except a young Houston lawyer named Jack Carver, who's way out of his depth and knows it. Their only lead: a handful of gold coins tied to one of the greatest shipwrecks in history, buried at the bottom of the sea for centuries. The oil company has better lawyers, more money, and no intention of letting the truth come out. Jack has Ashley, a ragtag cast of characters, and not much else. He's going to need more. The Law of the Sea is a wildly entertaining thriller that will take you through courts, countries, and whole continents in a high-stakes legal drama that readers call “impossible to put down.” “An absolute blast to read. There are entertaining legal battles á la Grisham, a fabulous sunken treasure hunt, and a mysterious death at the heart of it all.” “I haven't read a book this addictive in a very long time.” "Gerard seems to have been cloned from Victor Hugo, Alexander Duma and other old and contemporary writing hands that know exactly how to tell a story."
