Golden Ballast - Paperback

by H. De Vere Stacpoole (Author)

A young ex-RAF pilot inherits a small legacy and seeks freedom on the sea. In a quiet English harbor, he finds a ketch with a violent history and a strange current crew. But buried beneath the ballast is a secret worth killing for-and soon he's drawn into a web of wartime secrets, gold smuggling, and international intrigue.
