Worse things happen at sea
Paul Delamare has been roped into accompanying his old friend on a luxury cruise aboard the magnificent superyacht Maldemer. It s all plain sailing until his friend s priceless necklace is stolen, and everyone falls under suspicion.
As Paul races to catch the thief, the ship begins to drift off-course, veering into the storm-lashed mid-Atlantic. Then one of the passengers is found dead in mysterious circumstances, in a pool of coffee and surrounded by cake crumbs.
It s all hands on deck to catch the killer, but Paul soon discovers guests and crew are harbouring deadly secrets. And if he can t get to the bottom of the mystery soon, he ll be sleeping with the fishes.
