BOOK REVIEW | Clive Cussler’s The Corsican Shadow

A Dirk Pitt Novel

By Dirk Cussler

Fearless adventurer Dirk Pitt returns in an explosive new instalment of the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling series created by the “grand master of adventure” Clive Cussler.

The cargo’s uncertain fate

France, May 1940. As the German army blitzes Europe, a curator must take a mysterious cargo out of the country. When his intended ship sinks, his cargo’s uncertain fate rests on a decrepit steamer, sailing under German fire.

Decades later, a diving expedition leads Dirk Pitt to a shipwreck’s cache of uncut diamonds. No sooner than discovered, the diamonds are stolen – all while vital water treatment facilities around the globe are being targeted, placing humanity in grave peril.

Only Dirk Pitt can locate the treasure that will preserve the soul of a nation… and save the world from catastrophe.
