Mystery Historical
A World War's being fought in 1943, and Lieutenant
Peter Maxwell wants in on it. But his assignment to the
Liberty Hill Victory is not what he had in mind. An
ammo ship commanded by racist officers and crewed by largely
untrained and inexperienced African American sailors, it is
a volatile floating powder keg in more ways than
one.
In the wake of a deadly explosion
and subsequent mutiny in San Francisco's Port Chicago, the
Liberty Hill Victory puts out to sea—as Maxwell and
his new ally, former Chicago "Black Belt" cop seaman "Sarge"
Washington, struggle to keep the ship afloat in treacherous
waters. Because if a typhoon doesn't sink them or their
cargo doesn't blow them straight to hell, a looming, more
human threat just might—as a brutalized corpse discovered at
the ship's bottom hammers home a terrible truth: they are
thousands of miles from anywhere with a murderer
onboard.
