Strong Vengeance

1820: In the Gulf waters off the Texas coast, the pirate Jean Lafitte and his partner Jim Bowie launch an attack on the Mother Mary, a slave ship carrying invaluable treasure. The Present: Fifth-generation Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong is investigating the murder of the oil-rig crew that had found the long-lost wreckage of the Mother Mary. The crew uncovered something else beneath the surface of the sea-something connected to a terrorist attack about to be launched by a mad, American-born cleric. With the stakes higher than any she has encountered before, Caitlin's only chance to defeat the terrorists lies in the darkest reaches of the Louisiana bayou. In the end, only the strongest of vengeance can win the day.
