Beschreibung
Aboard the schooner Terrapin, seven men set sail, but only three remain after three days in the stifling doldrums. In the oppressive heat and eerie calm of the open sea, one by one, crew members vanish without a trace, leaving nothing but cryptic clues: a trailing rope and ghostly lanterns. As tension rises and paranoia grips the survivors, the truth unravels—a cunning plot to trap a ruthless shipowner and reclaim control of the small-port trade. But even the best-laid plans carry an air of dread in these cursed waters.
