With the pirates' domain shrinking, Patrick Devlin and his crew are forced into the unfamiliar waters of Africa and the East Indies, but it's not long before they are on the trail of new prey. The notorious pirate Olivier 'The Buzzard' Levasseur has seized the legendary Fiery Cross of Goa from the greatest treasure ship that ever sailed. He believes himself unreachable, hidden on an island in the Indian Ocean. Devlin thinks otherwise. Ceaselessly pursued by John Coxon of the Royal Navy, his former master and foe, and a price on his head, Patrick Devlin will need all his courage and cunning to survive. In CROSS OF FIRE Mark Keating uses the true account of Levasseur's legendary pirate haul to provide another stunning and heart-pounding portrayal of life on the seas.
