Privateersman Harry Ludlow & his partner & brother, James, find that murder & intrigue take up more of their time than the hunt for fat trading vessels. Arriving in the squalid, seething port of Genoa, they find it a tinderbox of tension, fed by the discovery of a hanged British sea captain & packs of English & French sailors.

"Not content to outflank and outgun C. S. Forester with his 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." —Cambrige Evening News
"High adventure and detection cunningly spliced." —Times of London Literary Review
"Skullduggery . . . rousing battles. Authenticity guaranteed: taste the salt and smell the powder. Donachie sails on without a rival in sight." —Times Literary Review
