Four years after the Anne Bonny’s namesake passed, Professor Herschel Barstow is taking the sailboat out one last time as a final good-by to his departed wife. He expects the trip to be a quiet one…until the mysterious and seductive Maggie Adelaide Moore comes aboard. Trouble quickly follows, and soon the two are entangled with a dangerous drug cartel. Now the criminal justice professor needs to call on old friends and training from his CIA days to escape their pursuers and riddle out Maggie’s mysterious past. Armed with little information and even fewer friends, Hersh must follow his gut when deciding whether to trust this remarkable woman—that is, if she doesn’t run away with his heart first.
Filled with action, mystery, and romance, Dick Elam’s debut novel takes readers up and down the Carolina waterways on Hersh and Maggie’s search for truth, safety, and justice.
Anne Bonny’s Wake is the first audiobook of a compelling series by Dick Elam.
"Woven through the book is intriguing lore surrounding the notorious pirate Anne Bonny, who likely traveled the same waterways, hundreds of years earlier. Anne Bonny's Wake channels all the danger, intrigue, and thrills of a pirate's life at sea for a twentieth-century criminal mystery."
