The Tempting of Captain Owen Kettle
A London shipping magnate Theodore Shelf and partner Patrick Cambel plot half a million in gold aboard the Port Edes in a piracy scheme. Captain Owen Kettle, a hard luck mariner with a known temper, joins as a fourth mate while Shelf’s firm Marmaduke Rivers & Shelf edges toward a brutal plan involving theft, ransom, and possible murder on the high seas.
