1914. Gli Stati Uniti stanno per realizzare una delle loro imprese più colossali, il Canale di Panama, destinato a rivoluzionare il commercio mondiale e a portare enormi guadagni, prestigio e potere. Uno dei più convinti sostenitori dell’opera è il senatore J. William Densmore, che si attira ben presto l’odio di chi si oppone al progetto.

Come quando a San Diego sventa un attentato il cui obiettivo era proprio il senatore Densmore. Questo episodio è solo il primo tassello di una elaborata strategia che minaccia la sicurezza e la stabilità degli USA. Chi voleva che il senatore morisse?

Con il suo stile unico, Clive Cussler dà vita a un nuovo thriller storico avvincente, pieno di suspense, azione mozzafiato e continui colpi di scena.

I 1896 flygtede fire englændere med deres bytte, en formue i uslebne diamanter, gennem den nådesløse Kalahari-ørken, stærkt forfulgt af en afrikansk stamme. Det lykkedes de fire mænd at komme om bord på det ventende HMS Rove, men en storm blæste op, og skibet forsvandt med alle ombordværende. Juan Cabrillo og hans besætning på det ombyggede fragtskib, Oregon, er med nød og næppe sluppet helskindet fra en mission på Congo-floden, da de opfanger et nødkald fra et skib, der er kommet under beskydning ud for den afrikanske kyst. Cabrillo kommer den smukke Sloane Macintyre til undsætning og erfarer bagefter, at hun var på skattejagt og håbede at finde det forsvundne skib med dets last af diamanter. Det undrer Cabrillo, at Macintyres skib blev beskudt, før hun havde fundet skatten. Det undrer ham endnu mere at høre om gigantiske slanger af metal, der huserer i det samme område, hvor hun har søgt. Dette er åbenbart en skattejagt, som for enhver pris skal stoppes, men det skal man ikke sige to gange til Cabrillo! Skeletkysten er den anden bog i Clive Cusslers bestseller-serie om Juan Cabrillo og Oregon-skibet. Tidligere er udkommet Den gyldne Buddha.
