FIVE passengers, two seamen and an officer from the wrecked Portuguese steamer Lerida are picked up by the U.S. Hospital Ship Magnolia. When they are hoisted aboard the Magnolia, the Portuguese mate is found murdered—stabbed in the back. After two more attempts at murder, every one on the ship is engulfed in a wave of suspicion, and the trip home becomes a voyage through terror. A fascinating new romantic thriller by one of the Crime Club's favourite authors. |
