Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Hardcover. Very Good. A new entry in the historical mystery genre-with a slightly different tack. The time is the early 1800s, the place the English coastal towns of Weymouth and Portsmouth. Lieutenant Bartholomew Hoare of the Royal Navy lives in Portsmouth, though he's not been on active duty since a musket ball crushed his larynx, leaving him unable to speak above a whisper. He now works under Portsmouth's Port Admiral Sir George Hardcastle but longs for sea duty and is only slightly comforted by sailing his eccentric little yacht. His rescue one day of spunky Eleanor Graves from a pair of thugs introduces him to the woman's wheelchair-bound doctor husband and to their friend, Canadian quarry owner Edward Morrow. Soon after, Hoare is called on to investigate the murder of Captain Adam Hay of the navy ship Vantage.217pp.
