From the back cover

Nathan Cole grew up on the rocky shores of coastal Maine, free-diving the Atlantic until he married Evelyn Stone. Because Evelyn claimed deep water terrified her, he locked his regulators and wetsuits in a steel trunk and stayed out of the ocean for seven years.

Then he found a photo album hidden in her home office: Evelyn in neoprene, laughing beneath the Caribbean with Wesley Miller. She had told him her phobia was so severe she could not bear the sight of his gear, yet she chartered boats and dove sixty feet with another man. When Nathan confronts her at her command, she offers no apology, and the officers in the hallway whisper that he is too well-behaved to make a scene.

He asks for a divorce and walks out. Evelyn does not follow.
