Take Stephen King horror, a Sherlock Holmes-esque detective, and add a dash of Pirates of the Caribbean for an utterly unique murder mystery on the high seas. Samuel Pipps is the greatest detective of his day . . . but now hes a prisoner, accused of an unknown crime by one of the worlds most powerful men.

Along with his faithful sidekick, Arent Hayes, hes sailing back to Amsterdam from the East Indies, where hell stand trial. But no sooner are they out to sea than devilry begins to blight the voyage.

Still shackled in his cell, Pipps sends Hayes to solve a mystery that connects every passenger on board.

All the while, voices whisper to him in the dark. But are those whispers clues? Warnings? Or the devil himself?
