Killer's Wake by Bernard Cornwell, David Case
Another taut nautical thriller from Bernard Cornwell, author of WILDTRACK and the Sharpe series. John Rossendale's home is the sea; in his 38-foot cutter, he is far away from his disagreeable, contentious family and his role as black sheep and heir to an impoverished earldom. Still, mystery and danger have a way of finding him even when he is far from any coast. He is obliged to return home to England on account of a mysterious painting which disappeared from the family's house years ago and which everyone suspects him of possessing. Blackmail and violence follow, and in the end Rossendale must contend with a deadly enemy at sea in the Channel Islands - an enemy he may not be able to survive.
