After the Treaty of Utrecht, Captain Sharkey of the Happy Delivery terrorises the Spanish Main, and four linked stories follow the men who try to outwit him, from the homeward-bound Governor of Saint Kitt’s to Copley Banks of Kingston. The volume adds Doyle’s other sea tales, including the Arctic ghost story of the whaler Pole-Star and the mystery of The Striped Chest.
Brisk, dark and atmospheric, these are Doyle at his most purely entertaining away from Baker Street. Download the free EPUB.
