Book Overview

Johnny Rossendale has spent the last four years on the seas, away from the titled family he despises. But now he must turn his sailing cutter, the Sunflower, around and sail to Devon, where his mother lies dying. When Johnny makes landfall, though, he finds that his return is eagerly anticipated by some very sinister foes. After an attempt on his life, he realises that someone thinks a missing painting that belongs to the family is in his hands - and, worse, they are prepared to go to any lengths to get hold of it. But as Earl of Stowey, Johnny has eight centuries of robber-baron blood pumping through his veins. He won't let the family fortune fall into the hands of others without a fight . . .

A Brit-aristo whodunit and wherisit

Whodunit? but what they "dun" is not a murder (though death makes an appearance) but the theft of a multi-million dollar Van Gogh, the main resource of a, as the phrase goes, "somewhat decayed" English earldom...

Killer's Wake

Killer's Wake and Sealord (both by Bernard Cornwell) are one and the same book published under two different titles. Great book but no need to buy both.
