Mystery
U.S. Exploring Expedition linguist Wiki Coffin sails with
the famous convoy of ships toward Brazil, with no idea the
ama¬zing encounter the fates and the winds have set in
motion. As the great flagship Vincennes leads the convoy
under the du¬bious command of eccentric captain Charles
Wilkes toward a dramatic entrance in the port of Rio,
careless maneuvering leads one of the vessels to run afoul
of a Boston trading ship. As it turns out, the trader is
owned and commanded by the famous and larger-than-life
Captain William Coffin, father to Wiki and sailor of all
seven seas. The encounter sets in motion a series of
confounding events that reunite William with his
illegitimate half-Maori son and that, before they are
through, will see two men dead, William on trial for
murder, and Wiki working feverishly to unmask the real
killers before the Expedition sails on—leaving his father
at the mercy of an unforgiving Brazilian court.
