Genevieve Masefield and George Dillman make a living as ships detectives aboard the early
twentieth century's most extravagant sailing vessels. From the members of first class in all
their finery the card cheats and pickpockets plying their trade to the lascivious crew
members they've experienced more than their share of humanity. And the Salsette boasts a group
of travellers whose lives are set to intersect in ways none of them could have foreseen on dry
land including in a murder. George and Genevieve know that nothing in the cloying
claustrophobic confines of an ocean liner is as straightforward as it seems and as the ship
inches toward port relationships on board both those in plain sight and some hidden from view
will be revealed. But will the exposure of an intricate web of deceit lead George and Genevieve
to the killer? Previously published under pseudonym Conrad Allen.
