1738, Cap-Français, in the Caribbean. Redbeard, once the terror of the Seven Seas, has partially retired. Now a privateer in the service of the King of France, he chomps at the bit along with his companions, for France is currently at peace. So, when the town’s governor tasks him with catching a mysterious French pirate who terrorises the Carolinas, he jumps at the chance to get back into the fray. But he made many enemies during his pirate years, and danger lurks in wait …
No spoilers here. I read this and thought "Well that's one way to end a character's story" and, yes, he DOES hang.... the twist had me smiling in a black humoured sort of way. Gripping right up to that last page.
