Will watched the ship fight for its life, hoping for a miracle. But soon after nine o'clock, it struck the reef with a terrible rending and splintering of timber. He saw a man drop from the crosstrees and fall into the seething cauldron below . . .
Only one man survives the wreck - a Frenchman named Louis Junot. Britain is at war with Napoleon's France and as Louis recovers at the Angel Inn many of the villagers are convinced that Will and his mother are harbouring a dangerous French spy. When they demand Louis's blood, Will is forced to choose - he can't let Louis be taken, possibly even murdered, but can he trust him? But when a rival gang of smugglers threatens an attack on the village, it seems that, spy or not, the Frenchman could be their only hope . . .
