Colin MacLaurin was born a slave. He died free, and along the way, he made it his business to see that as many others as he could reach did too.
By day he sails as a privateer captain under the American flag, hunting British prizes across the Caribbean. By night, and whenever the chance comes, he turns his guns on something older and darker than any war: the slave trade that once owned him. When he burns a slaver's careenage and cuts a hundred souls free from a hidden pen, he collides with a conspiracy far bigger than one smuggler's cove. A cold, patient Royal Navy captain is hunting a battered American ship for reasons that have nothing to do with prizes and everything to do with a paper that could hang the wealthiest, best-hidden man in Charleston.
To break the web, MacLaurin will have to sail two undermanned brigs against a King's frigate at anchor, under a dead man's flag, with nothing but nerve, a stolen signal, and a hundred hard men who trust him to bring them home. Waiting on shore is a sharp-eyed widow who trades in secrets as fluently as coffee, and waiting in his own chest is a truth he has never spoken aloud, not even to his own brother.
Black Irish and The Lady Fair is a novel of cutting-out raids and hurricane nights, of freedom bought at gunpoint and friendship forged in smoke, for readers who love their historical fiction salt-stained, hard-won, and true to the wind.
