The novel is set in Victorian England and the reader meets Joseph Winter who is a master criminal. In the teeming streets of London he is, with some irony, known by the sobriquet of Trace. Why? Because he never leaves a trace behind him.
But eventually things go very badly wrong for Trace, his reputation is smashed to pieces and his dreams of success smashed to nothing when a tip about a fabled treasure map fails to materialise.
What can he do next? He decides to form a group of strangers who will be invited to join him in the hunt for the treasure in question.
They take to the high seas and soon find themselves travelling to the ends of the Earth in a journey to unearth the vital clues as to the final resting place of the fabled treasure.
But eventually Trace begins to harbour doubts. Is this hunt worthwhile? What is he doing? Who can he trust?
It's a swashbuckling historical novel which will be a good read for people who like a tang of sea air in their fiction.
Published by Grosvenor House Publishing Ltd at £11.11 from Amazon or as an e-book for £2.84.
