A banker heeds the call of the sea and joins the crew of an ocean steamer in this "exciting adventure thriller" from the author of The Deadly Shore (Hull Daily Mail).
John Baxter is not truly a seaman. Having served on a destroyer during the war, he went back to work with his father at the bank. But no longer content with the daily office grind, John sets out to find work on the open ocean. Leaving behind his wife, Constance, and his job, he sets sail on the Wheel of Fortune.
Bunking with an experienced seaman named Laratee, John soon discovers the man's dark past. Not only does Laratee look strange, but he also drinks—heavily—to forget the many skeletons in his closet. But soon, it isn't just their own personal demons John and Laratee must battle, but the volatile nature of the open ocean, where no-one is safe . . .
