New York, 1908. While waiting to embark on the Caronia, the Cunard
Line's famous ocean liner, private detectives George Dillman and
Genevieve Masefield are startled to witness the boarding of a man and
woman in shackles. They discover that these prisoners are being brought
back to England by Scotland Yard to face trial for murder.
Over the course of the crossing, while managing purse-snatchers,
burglars and drug traffickers, Dillman and Masefield come to believe
that the captured couple may not be the vicious criminals some might
think. But pursuing the hunch that they are innocent becomes harder when
a killer strikes on board. Dillman and Masefield will need all their
wits to navigate the waters ahead.
Previously published under the name Conrad Allen, the Ocean Liner series
sets sail for a new generation of readers.
