At a time of peace during the Napoleonic wars, James Jenkins, a Royal Navy captain, is found suspended under a dockyard pier in a cage. He is rescued just before the tide drowns him. Jenkins, driven mad by his ordeal, is confined to a private asylum by the Admiralty. Admiral William Burns, suspecting that this attempt on Jenkins’ life is tied to the loss of his ship and its cargo of gold, tasks a young commander, Albert Walker, to investigate the incident. This compelling story of theft, murder and betrayal moves from London to the dockyards to the high seas and the Caribbean as the commander and a trusted friend, Lieutenant Samuel Mink, risk their lives to unravel the mystery.

Book Description
Captain F J Walker, RN, did more than any other man at sea to win the Battle of the Atlantic, a vicious and unrelenting struggle which Churchill described as the dominating factor throughout World War Two. He was a formidable figure and one of the greatest fighting captains in the Royal Navy, sinking twenty U-boats. For this he was awarded a CB and four DSOs. A month after D-Day, exhausted by his continuous actions at sea against the enemy and his successful exertions to keep the U-boats out of the English Channel to ensure the safe passage of the Allied landings at D-day, he went ashore in Liverpool after a patrol. His ships and the men he had trained and inspired were already back at sea when he died on the 9 July, 1944, aged 48. His ships went on to sink another nine U-boats, bringing his flotillas' total up to twenty-nine, before the U-boat fleet finally surrendered. Fifteen of which were sunk by Walkers own ship, HMS Starling.
