In 1634, Samuel Pipps, the world's most famous detective, is imprisoned on the Saardam bound for Amsterdam, facing trial and hanging. Accompanied by his friend Arent Hayes and Sara Wessel, the wife of the governor-general of Batavia, a series of mysterious events baffle the crew: strange symbols, a deceased leper, and sacrificed animals. A voice prophesies three diabolical miracles, including impossible pursuits, thefts, and murders. With Pipps behind bars, Arent and Sara must solve the mystery that threatens to sink the ship and everyone on board. A historical mystery novel, addictive and full of plot twists, ideal for fans of Sherlock Holmes and high seas adventure novels.
