The Queen’s Last Harbour

A shattered hip, ruined name, and ears that whistle have left diver Angus Meldrum fit for one thing only: the black water of the Mtanga Delta. Cracking open a lump of ballast in 1964, he finds proof that an entire drowned city lies beneath the mangrove silt — and a salvage baron with a government concession, a dredge barge, and no patience arrives to blast his way in. With a cyclone standing off the coast, three villages sit between them.
