About This Book

A young man is sent by his uncle to aid a revolutionary leader in Brazil and soon becomes entangled in a sinister plot aboard ship to prevent his arrival. Political conspiracies, secret vaults, violent crimes and a missing finger propel a fast-moving investigation that exposes spies, betrayals and a planned uprising. The narrative traces narrow escapes, a condemned man facing a death sentence, an at‑eleventh‑hour intervention, and a growing bond with a spirited woman, as shifting loyalties and hidden revelations determine the outcome of the rebellion.
