A Man to Hang

Nicholas Curnow can make a dead hull swim, and that gift is about to hang him. Master shipwright to the East India Company on the Malabar coast in 1699, he takes one secret commission too many — and wakes to find the ship his hands built burning pilgrims at sea under a stolen flag. Outlawed by the Company, hunted by a Mughal war fleet, and betrayed by the man who once saved his life, Curnow has eleven weeks and one sunken wreck to prove his innocence.
