A Game of Bones
First published 1997
In 1796, the exhausted Bucephalas returns towards the Cinque Ports and pursues what appears to be an easy merchant prize in the Channel. Fog and misjudgement turn the chase into a damaging engagement that leaves Harry Ludlow seeking refuge in the Solent.
There he finds the Royal Navy in open mutiny, with red flags flying from the ships. Harry must protect his crew and privateer while deciding how to act when sailors’ grievances, government authority and wartime necessity collide.
