Synopsis: From the Book Jacket: A yacht has vanished under mysterious circumstances. Involved are the woman who owns it, the charter captain who undertakes to find it, and two desperate men who are intimately connected with its disappearance and with the explosive cargo aboard, which they are committed to delivering without benefit of law. From these ingredients Charles Williams concocts one of the superior suspense stories which his increasingly large and avid public has come to expect. Again he shows his mastery of this exacting field of fiction, his ability to create believable characters, and his swift narrative pace. And again in evidence is his special affection for the sea in all its moods. As Anthony Boucher, in The New York Times Book Review, said of Williams' most recent novel, The Sailcloth Shroud, here is "... a fine light novel of excitement, spirited, fresh, and satisfying."
