The Ghost Squad embarks on a top secret land operation in mid1944 at the request of the US Navy. On a monsoon drenched night a Petty Officer fell or was pushed off his PT boat in the Leyte Gulf. A strong swimmer, the Navy believes the sailor made it to shore. On his arm is a tattoo. Unknown to him, the tattoo is the code for U. S. Forces landing operations on Leyte. The squad's danger filled mission is to find and retrieve the officer before Japanese officials can find him and break the code. It's a heartstopping search through enemy infested Philippine jungles, leading to a spinetingling conclusion on an isolated ocean reef.
