An experimental undersea oil drilling rig is sent to investigate a downed US military submarine with nuclear missiles.

Phenomenal and showing very little age.

After a convicted murderer’s execution, and when copycat killers become suicides, the original detective is dragged into what becomes a vastly more complex case.
