Fortune — Robert Drewe

Fortune is the story of Don Spargo, a modern explorer who finds a sunken treasure ship off the West Australian coast and becomes a folk hero, a lover, and a hunted and haunted man. Suspenseful, satirical, and deeply moving, this novel challenges the nature of reality and legend in those scenes of modern conflict -- from the media to art, from politics to crime -- that have obsessed the Western individual since World War II.
