Fairy Mystery

Bernal Fitzhugh hade många strängar på sin lyra. Han var inte bara skeppsläkare hos amiral Sir Francis Drake utan även spion för drottning Elizabeth av England. Något som ledde honom från Oxfords stilla kloster till det rullande däcket på ett piratskepp, från plundringen av Cartagena till den spanska inkvisitionens fängelsehålor. Bernal Fitzhugh var en äventyrare och ett råskinn, men även en skicklig läkare och en sökare på jakt efter kärleken. Frank G. Slaughter (1908-2001) var en amerikansk författare vars böcker har sålt i cirka 60 miljoner exemplar över hela världen.
