Sail of Stoneby Åke EdwardsonSimon & Schuster

A brother and sister believe that their father has gone missing. They think he may have traveled in search of his father, who was presumed lost decades ago in World War II. Meanwhile, there are reports that a woman is being abused, but she can’t be found and her family won’t tell the police where she is. Two missing people and two very different families combine in this dynamic and suspenseful mystery by the Swedish master Åke Edwardson.

Gothenburg’s Chief Inspector Erik Winter travels to Scotland in search of the missing man, aided there by an old friend from Scotland Yard. Back in Gothenburg, Afro-Swedish detective Aneta Djanali discovers how badly someone doesn’t want her to find the missing woman when she herself is threatened.

Behind Amber Sails

Behind Amber Sailsby B. E. FosterB. E. Foster

Evie Jane lived on the outskirts of the last vestiges of civilization huddled in the scant remains of the United States of America all her life. Though they struggled to maintain their home, she and her parents enjoyed relative comfort and security. That home now teeters on the edge of inevitable collapse. Implacable forces tear against its foundations. Evie's parents sacrificed the last of their savings and influence to secure her passage on the only chance for escape, the Lifeboat Program's flagship, the Pilgrim's Progress.

On board the massive ship, and en route to an unestablished colony on an unknown planet, Evie must fight to discover new purpose and direction. She struggles against a rigidly defined and violently defended class system designed to maintain a strict social order. Determined to recreate her own identity within her new confines, she pushes through the excruciating pain of the shipboard security to establish one place on the "escape" ship where she can find peace and solace. When a powerful, strange, and undeniably alluring young man invades her sanctuary, Evie catapults into a series of perilous adventures, striving to save the ship and the future of mankind. Along the way she forges unbreakable bonds with her shipmates and develops an even deeper connection with the man who propelled her into this new life.

The Royal Navy is immobilised by mutiny, and the only thing that's standing in the way of an invasion is a commander who is communicating with a fleet that isn't there. While Great Britain's major home fleets are immobilised by a vicious mutiny, Adam Duncan, commander of the North Sea Squadron, has to maintain a constant watch over the Dutch coast, where a powerful invasion force is ready to take advantage of Britannia's weakest moment. With ship-to-ship duels and fleet engagements, shipwrecks, storms and groundings, True Colours maintains a relentless pace that culminates in one of the most devastating sea battles of the French Revolutionary War-the Battle of Camperdown. Alaric Bond has stepped into the first rank of writers of historic naval fiction. The Third Book in the Fighting Sail Series
