Official synopsis Publisher
Growing up in the Panama Canal Zone, Jack Savage and his friends took up free diving (using only the air in your lungs) the way kids in the continental US took up baseball, with a passion. Fearless, reckless, always up for a challenge, whenever these three friends go out in a boat, trouble seems to know where to find them. Part adventure story, part romance, The Clear Blue Line follows Jack Savage as he explores the waters of the Pearl Islands off Panama’s coast, looking for treasure. His single-minded pursuit of perfection is knocked off course when he finds himself torn between two strong beautiful women. In this otherwise idyllic setting, he soon discovers that the dangerous sport of free diving is second to the real dangers above water, where drug lords and wild women walk, sometimes arm in arm, and pirates cruise the surface of a black sea at night, looking for prey.
