A Māori American linguist is deputized to find the real killer hidden among a US expedition bound for the South Pacific in this historical mystery debut. "Druett provides a fascinating glimpse of American history during the era of exploration as well as a great deal of seafaring lore. . . . This impressive debut will appeal both to fans of historical mysteries and to Patrick O' Brian readers." —Booklist (starred review) It's 1838, and the U.S. Exploring Expedition, a convoy of ships filled with astronomers, naturalists, and sailors, is set to launch from Virgina. Aboard the expedition is linguist Wiki Coffin. Half New Zealand Maori and half American, Wiki's only duty is to help the crew navigate the Pacific islands that are his heritage. But just before departure he is arrested for a vicious murder he didn't commit. The convoy sails off, and hours later Wiki is exonerated, set free to catch up with his ship. The catch: the local sheriff is convinced that real murderer is aboard the expedition. Wiki is deputized to identify the killer and, against long odds and a perilous risk for the brave young sailor, to ensure that justice is served on the deadly high seas. "What a terrific idea New Zealand naval historian Joan Druett had for a mystery series." —Chicago Tribune "The debut of a smart, appealing hero whose tale unfolds amid lots of interesting cross-cultural, historical, and nautical detail." —Kirkus Reviews "Druett makes fine mystery McGuffins out of the infamous expedition's real-life chaos and mismanagement. . . . She also presents some well-realized villains. . . . This novel is a fine start to a series sure to appeal to lovers of historical mysteries and fans of sea adventures." —Publishers Weekly
