In the small town where his name dominates every headline, the biggest case of Johnny Socko’s All-Star sleuthing career has just fallen into his lap—a message centuries old, scrawled in blood. It speaks of pirates, curses, and a long lost island…
The mysterious pirate fortress known as Castillo del Mar.
Forget school and football. Now Johnny and his trusty scuba-diving dog will dive every shipwreck, decipher every code, and deploy every gadget in their comic book arsenal to chase a fabled pirate ship into uncharted waters.
But a dark secret lurks in the ruined dungeons of Castillo del Mar. An unspeakable magic lost to history. And an ancient menace waits for those who seek it.
