Publisher's Synopsis
On his return voyage to England, Jack helps in the defeat of a privateer, gaining a friend in a charismatic Irishman, Red Hugh McClune, along with a large share of the prize money and a nasty dose of cholera. Fever nearly kills him and his life is saved by Red Hugh. The friendship takes him to convalesce in Bath and into a liaison with the Irishman's relative, Laetitia. Yet neither cousin are all that they seem. Jack escapes with his life...but loses his honour. Through betrayal and mutiny, Jack seeks to restore that honour - with a consequence he could not have foreseen and a price to be paid in blood.
