The Silver Passage (Galleons of Glory book 4
About
A treasure fleet vanishes.
A conspiracy emerges.
And the fate of an empire hangs in the balance.
When Captain Diego de Alvarado escorts a convoy carrying Spanish silver across the Caribbean, he expects storms, privateers and the dangers that have always haunted the sea lanes of empire.
What he does not expect is murder.
After a treasury investigator disappears, a merchant vessel vanishes during a storm and evidence of sabotage begins to surface throughout the fleet, Diego finds himself drawn into a deadly conspiracy stretching from Cartagena to Havana.
Alongside the determined Don Esteban Ruiz, the courageous Sister Catalina and his trusted master gunner Rodrigo Sánchez, Diego must uncover the truth behind a network of spies, corrupt officials and hidden enemies operating within the very institutions sworn to protect the Crown.
As ships burn, witnesses die and powerful men move to conceal their secrets, the convoy’s voyage becomes a race against time.
Because somewhere within Havana waits a hidden prize worth killing for.
And someone will do anything to ensure it never reaches its destination.
Perfect for readers of maritime adventure, historical thrillers and age-of-sail fiction, The Silver Passage delivers intrigue, danger and high-seas suspense in the tradition of the great naval adventures.
