Book Description
The Fastnet Race is the world famous yacht race from the Isle of Wight to the Fastnet Rock off the southwest coast of Ireland and back. The race of 1979 began in perfect weather conditions but within 48 hours, the deadliest storm in the history of modern sailing struck off the south coast of Ireland. By the time it had passed, the havoc caused was immeasurable. Even more devastating, it had mercilessly taken the lives of fifteen sailors. It had been Nick Ward's childhood ambition to sail in the Fastnet Race, and after being asked to join the crew aboard the 30-foot yacht Grimalkin it was a dream come true. But then the storm hit. Grimalkin was capsized again and again, the skipper was lost overboard and after hours of struggle, three of the crew decided to abandon the boat for the liferaft. Nick and his fellow crewmember Gerry, both injured and unconscious, were left on the beleaguered yacht in the middle of the Irish Sea. Both were presumed dead, and were taken off the priority list for rescue. Gerry died a few hours later, and Nick was left to face the storm alone. Now available as a paperback, Left for Dead is the tragic and inspirational story of Nick Ward's survival against all the odds. It is the story of an ordinary man who survived an extraordinary event. It was an experience which affected him so deeply that for over 25 years his story has remained untold - until now.

Book Description
Life up and down the Chesapeake Bay exists around the seamless tides. Except for regattas held in open coves and up the rivers in spring, boat traffic is mercantile. Huge container ships lumber up and down the mile-wide shipping channel twenty-four hours a day. At dusk and dawn, lights along the bowline can be seen without binoculars. Bay water, during all phases of the tides, slaps against the rickrack making sounds so unique that herons stand upon the rocks to sleep and whisper in thoughtless response. The second book in the Hush Hush Murders trilogy, Death in Yacht Haven is set down the road from Aunt Marees water community home. Margaret has come to visit and to close up the house for winter. On an early December morning, Margaret finds a corpse batting against the main-mast of a docked Cruiser 31 in the marina. Upon further investigation, she also discovers that the disappearance of Maxim Barrier and appearance of out-of-town businessmen may not be coincidental. Edna May brings her insights to the mystery and private eye, Tory Wayles, to investigate.

Book Description
“One always embarks on a John Rhode book with a great sense of security. One knows that there will be a sound plot, well-knit process of reasoning, and a solidly satisfying solution with no loose ends or careless errors of fact.”—Dorothy Sayers From the Jacket: Fair blew the wind from France, and the Channel steamer Isle of Jethou rolled a bit in the stiff south-westerly breeze. But the rough crossing didn’t upset the mysterious passenger who had locked himself into his cabin as soon as he boarded the boat at Guernsey. The same desire for seclusion had manifested itself on the boat-train to Waterloo, for the guard had been presented with a pound-note to reserve a compartment for Mr. Mystery. But did he travel alone? For at Waterloo the gentleman from Guernsey was a pretty genuine corpse. Death on the Boat-Train is a first-rate detective story, once again featuring the coldly clever scientific mind of Dr. Priestley, John Rhode’s brilliant creation.
