John Trenchard, an orphan in the Dorset village of Moonfleet, stumbles into the Mohune family vault beneath the church and discovers where the local smugglers hide their cargo. Befriended by Elzevir Block, the grieving landlord of the Why Not inn, he is drawn into night landings, a legend of Blackbeard’s lost diamond and a life on the run.
A smuggling adventure in the tradition of Treasure Island, as atmospheric as its shingle beach and lagoon. Download the free EPUB.
