A Thief’s Revenge
by Douglas Skelton
A murder cries out for vengeance. A rogue answers the call.
For six long years, fired by cold rage, Jonas Flynt has hunted the man who paved the way for the murder of his son the Caribbean and American Colonies. Many a pirate was delivered to justice during the chase, but Dan Hawke proved elusive.
Learning that his quarry has now returned to London, Flynt races across the Atlantic in pursuit.
There, he reunites with old allies and older enemies. But, in streets where lies and betrayal are the norm, alliances have shifted, and it’s hard to tell friend from foe.
Will Flynt be able track Hawke down at last in this web of intrigue? Or will his years-long quest for revenge have been in vain?
