From publisher blurb:
The Halo Shipping Company has suffered a number of major losses this quarter. Piracy, unfortunate accidents and other events have cost the mega-corporation a number of ships. The Archangel Insurance Company has been considering canceling their policy due to the number of losses. The insurance company, however, has not entirely decided on this course of action. At least one of these unfortunate “incidents” does not appear to be an accident after all. An eager young insurance agent has begun an investigation and needs a little help uncovering some of the relevant facts.
Alice Yamamoto approaches the travelers about a potential job. She is an insurance adjuster with the Archangel Insurance Company. She has recovered the captain’s log of the Sea Witch. The Sea Witch was a merchant freighter belonging to the Halo Shipping Company which went missing last month. The insurance company has not yet paid off this claim but is intending to do so soon. Alice has been stalling the payment as she believes, from her reading of this log, that what occurred during this last voyage may not covered by the policy. She wants the travelers to investigate the claim, find the ship and find out just exactly what happened on board the Sea Witch.
