Darkness, death and danger on the South Seas
South Seas, 1850: Kit Killigrew and the Tisiphone are heading towards Norfolk Island, a savage penal colony; ostensibly to drop off the prison chief's new governess, but also deliver a reporter bent on interviewing Devin Cusack โ an Irish political prisoner.
But when an unknown party tries to rescue Cusack, seven of the island's most ruthless prisoners escape, including the fearsome Wyatt. What ensues is a deadly game of cat and mouse among the New Hebrides, where Killigrew unearths a series of illegal trades.
Ultimately, it is Killigrew's state of mind which threatens to achieve what a tribe of cannibals, a band of desperate criminals and a vicious trader โ hell bent on profit at any cost โ cannot, as he places himself in the line of danger once too often...
The third magnificent Killigrew adventure, this is a thrilling maritime ride perfect for fans of C.S....
