Returning to the Dundee of 1860 after years in the army, Robert Douglas finds employment with George Gilbride, a whaling-ship owner known as the Wizard.

After an initial clash, Douglas befriends the ship's mate, "Bully Houston", and together thay begin to unravel a year-old mystery.©2005 Malcolm Archibald (P)2006 Oakhill Publishing Ltd Literature & Fiction Suspense
