    About this ebook

    What happened to the Jane of Gibraltar?
    Learn how pirates repainted a ship at sea, killed the captain and cook and set a fire in the hold with the rest of the crew to suffocate, all for the purpose of taking over the ship and a valuable cargo of silver dollars and gold.
    Pirates plundered other ships on the high seas while on the brig Crawford a cunning act of piracy was perpetrated by a veteran pirate leader. He slit his own throat to escape justice while three Spaniards he recruited stood trial with the esteemed Chief Justice John Marshall presiding over the federal court in Richmond, Virginia in 1827, a rare trial. Follow the action in a blow-by blow description of the murder and mayhem right into the courtroom.
    Over 50,000 people attended one execution of pirates in England making one wonder if anyone was fortunate enough to have the fish and chips concession that day! There are no magic scenes out of sparkling Caribbean waters with Captain Jack Sparrow dueling with a devil, but the genuine evil related in these authentic pirate trials will certainly make your timbers shiver!

    Author

    Ken Rossignol

    The author now is entering the field of fiction and makes it clear that cruising has never been more dangerous as the heroes in The Privateer Clause work to stop killers at every port as Americans and other passengers on the Sea Empress cruise the Caribbean. Rossignol works to make sure those cruising on the Sea Empress have the time of their lives and as a result, bookings are through the roof. Careful research and the imagination of a veteran reporter and editor combine to bring realism to the intinerary of the Sea Empress. What happens to law officers after they retire? In the Privateer Clause, Rossignol makes sure that the chief characters never get a moments rest and while buffets and rum drinks threaten to add waist to the rotund travelors, the husband and wife security force lay waste to bad guys who are out to spoil everyone's trip. Rossignol shows that the passengers are the new media and are instant reporters as they use their cell phones, digital cameras, and all other new electronic communications to take all the latest acts of piracy against cruise ships to the world news outlets in minutes. While the recession ravages the economy, taking a cruise has never been a better bargain but given the terror cells operating around the world, a cruise has never been more dangerous. Will the author ever be allowed to board a cruise ship again? Will he be tossed onto the 'No Float' list? Only The Shadow knows for sure and while danger lurks at every moment, the author makes sure that no one on the Sea Empress is bored.
