Book Description
It is 1811 and Napoleon’s French Empire dominates Europe. Desperate to stem the encroaching French tide and avert war with the emerging power of the United States, the Royal Navy orders Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater to the Chesapeake Bay to heal the rift between London and Washington. On the banks of the Potomac, Drinkwater discovers the first clue to a plan by which the U.S. could defeat the Royal Navy, collapse the British government, and utterly destroy the British cause. Drinkwater takes command of a squadron sent against the Americans in the South Atlantic, audaciously risking his reputation and, in a climactic confrontation, coming face-to-face with the horror of an interminable war.

Book Description
A conspiracy of smugglers try to frame a London police detective for murder in this classic mystery thriller. Although his neighbors suspect he is quite rich, Li Yoseph lives in a sagging, squalid wooden house overhanging a creek, and has a habit of holding lengthy, animated conversations with invisible friends, usually in a foreign tongue. The police are certain he’s involved in smuggling, but they’ve never been quite able to prove it. Now there are darker doings afoot than a bit of tobacco smuggling—including murder—and an attempt to pin the blame for it on Scotland Yard’s Inspector Bradley. The detective will need to ascertain who really dumped a body in the Thames, and how much truth lies in an apparent madman’s ravings . . . “One of the most popular writers of the early twentieth century.” —Mystery Scene

" ... The letters which form this book were written between August 1914 and February 1916. They are spontaneous and utterly unstudied documents, and they have been printed almost exactly as Harold wrote them. Many of them are quite ordinary; most are spiced with slang; the long ones describing his share in the great historic raids are thrillingly dramatics ..."--Introduction
