Terhune opens with the coral that built the Florida Keys, then sends his hero to an island on the edge of the Everglades where a secret band takes its name from the legendary pirate Black Caesar. Hidden paths, a man in the dark, a mocking bird, traps, a siege and a figure in white lead to the secret of the ghost tree.
An adventure-mystery from the author of Lad: A Dog; its racial attitudes are those of 1922. Download the free EPUB.
