HALFHYDE ON THE AMAZON
By
The raw-boned, spirited Victorian naval hero and sailor-for-hire of Halfhyde and the Flag Captain (1981) fame returns--this time to sail his own ship, the Taronga Park, on a top-secret mission to Brazil for the crusty old British Admiralty. But what do the murders of a seaman and an upper-class stranger on board the Taronga Park just before Halfhyde can set sail signify about the mission? And what is the mission, anyway? Never fear--Halfhyde will find out; he's up to any job.
