Buy A Thief’s Revenge by Douglas Skelton

For six long years, fired by cold rage, Jonas Flynt has hunted the man who paved the way for the murder of his son across the Caribbean and American Colonies.

Many a pirate was delivered to justice during the chase, but Flynt never caught up with the elusive Dan Hawke.

Learning that his quarry has returned to London, Flynt races across the Atlantic in pursuit.

Back in his old hunting ground, he finds lies and betrayal are now the norm. During his lengthy absence, alliances have shifted among old friends and older enemies and it’s hard to tell friend from foe.

Will Flynt be able track Hawke down at last through this web of intrigue? Or will his years-long quest for revenge have been in vain?
