Spring 1792
England is enjoying a troubled peace, with her old enemy France still in the grip of the Terror. In harbours and estuaries around the country, the fleet has been left to rot, and thousands of officers and seamen have been thrown unwanted on the beach. Even a frigate captain as famous as Richard Bolitho is forced to swallow his pride and accept a minor appointment to the Nore.
With his small flotilla of three topsail cutters he sets out to search for the most brutal gang of smugglers England has known - the Brotherhood - a gang with men of influence behind them and a secret, sinister trade in human misery.
