In this gripping forensic mystery set in Stuart England, Gabriel
Taverner uncovers a series of shocking secrets when he's summoned
by his former naval captain to investigate strange goings-on aboard
his ship. October, 1604. Former ship's surgeon turned country
physician Gabriel Taverner is surprised to receive an urgent
summons from his old naval captain. Now docked in Plymouth harbour,
having recently returned from the Caribbean, Captain Colt believes
his ship is haunted by an evil spirit, and has asked Gabriel to
investigate. Dismissive of the crew's wild talk of mysterious
blue-skinned ghosts, Gabriel is convinced there must be a rational
explanation behind the mass hallucinations. But matters take a
disturbing turn when he and the captain discover a body hidden
behind one of the bulkheads. Calling on the help of his old friend,
Coroner Theophilus Davey, piece by piece Gabriel uncovers a
terrifying tale of treachery, dark magic, unimaginable cruelty -
and cold-blooded murder.
