About this title

Review:

"A must for armchair mariners . . . it's superb stuff." --Manchester Evening News

"With vivid and accurate shipboard action, storm havoc and battle scenes, Donachie has made Ludlow the most compulsively readable amateur detective since Dick Francis' latest ex-jockey." --Cambridge Evening News
