Overview

'Dead Men Tell No Tales is a gripping seafaring thriller by E. W. Hornung. Down-on-his-luck Dick, desperate for money, signs on with a band of smugglers plotting to rob a ship of its mysterious cargo. What begins as a reckless bid for quick cash turns sinister when he discovers the ""goods"" are actually kidnapped sailors held for ransom in the hold. As suspicions grow among the crew-fueled by nervous questions about their course and secretive talk of cargo-tensions with the touchy captain erupt into violence. Trapped between ruthless criminals and doomed prisoners, Dick is swept into a perilous game of cat and mouse on the high seas, where one wrong move could cost him his life. This scarce antiquarian novel is presented today in a carefully reproduced facsimile edition, preserving the flavor, markings, and period detail of the original while keeping an important work of maritime adventure in print everywhere.
