Hired by a criminal mastermind to escort precious cargo to the Indies, he will kill anyone who stands in his way.When these assassins clash, so too do their missions. One cannot succeed without killing the other. In this deadly game, who will triumph and who will die? And are they even the only players?'A fantastic achievement - dark and compelling with characters you will never forget.'

[a] lush masterpiece.' Historical Novel SocietyReviews for David Mark:'Mark is the king of grimy historical crime.' Alex Reeve 'Breathtaking.' Peter May 'Mark is a wonderfully descriptive writer.' Peter James 'Brilliantly written – a cracking story.' Richard Madeley
