But the fluttering he took for a distress signal was a tattered sail, the wheel was unmanned, and the master, his wife, their two-year-old daughter and the entire crew had disappeared. Attorney-General Frederick Solly Flood can see only one possible cause - mutiny and murder. He forces his agenda onto the official inquiry, transforming it into a criminal prosecution...Brian Freemantle tells of Flood's blind obsession and offers a compelling new explanation of what really happened aboard the MARY CELESTE.
