About “The Bloody Black Flag”

"A fast-paced mash-up of a rip-roaring pirate yarn mixed with a suspect-rich whodunit story. Gritty in detail, fanciful in conception, the novel is, above all else, a lot of fun." — Gordon McAlpine, author of Hammett Unwritten and the Edgar Award–nominated Woman with a Blue Pencil
