OK read, nothing special.

Reporter Kay Engels digs up more than a potential story when archaeologist and close friend Dr Vera Contas uncovers startling artefacts in the middle of a New York City construction site. Beneath the inner city dirt and gravel lies a tavern burned in 1698... and with it a link to the notorious pirate Captain Kidd, and perhaps his legendary treasure.

When a worker is found dead, Vera begs Kay to do some quiet unearthing of her own. Several acts of vandalism at the site lead Kay to Alan Elkan, the handsome and dynamic developer, and dangerously entangles her personal and professional life as she falls into a mystery as deep as the watery grave a killer has waiting just for her...

First book I read by Triss Stein and I loved it. It was a very interesting book full of suspense and of coarse mystery. I will gladly recommend this book 2 anyone who enjoys mystery.
