Watery Grave (Sir John Fielding Series #3)

by Bruce Alexander

Overview

In this third adventure, Sir John Fielding returns in his most baffling case yet. His stepson returns from high seas with tales of storms and a captain overboard. Was it an accident, or was it murder? Fielding is asked to investigate, but discovers considerably more than he'd bargained for. Filled with the authentic sights and sounds of eighteenth-century London, and with a supremely colorful and varied cast of characters, Watery Grave is in every way a delight to read.

"Fielding's detection . . . is first-rate. And the period ambiance is both original and persuasive." (The Boston Globe)
