Synopsis

A vagabond solo-sailor, Kim Barnaby, is stewing about the dangers of his erstwhile profession. Moro pirates and relentless typhoons threaten his livelihood, and he decides to sail to the safety of Singapore waters, leaving behind years of snatch and grab specimen shell hunting the the depths of the Sulu Sea. It's 1979 and unknown to him he has sailed right into a labyrinth of deception and seduction that will take him to depths he has never known.
Across the China Sea, a hundred-foot treasure boat is raided off the Malaysian cost. The salvage is seized and the crew incarcerated. The Malay government is soon to pass a cultural piracy law that will justify the seizure and end treasure diving once and for all. Back in San Francisco, gallery curator, Jill Schaefer, stands to lose it all. It's her boat and her antiquities business has taken a major hit.
Palawan Passage is a story about treasure diving and salvage rights and a woman who has a plan to turn the tables using whatever means available Enter Kim Barnaby. Lured and beguiled, it's yin and yang as betrayal ironically leads to salvation, right in the heart of the Sulu Sea.
