Synopsis

Red Harvest follows the detective known as the Continental Op in his investigation of several murders amid a labor dispute in a corrupt Montana mining town. The Continental Op is called to Personville (known as "Poisonville" to the locals) by the newspaper publisher Donald Willsson, who gets murdered before the Op has a chance to meet with him. The Op meets with the victim's father, Elihu Willsson, a local industrialist who has found his control of the city threatened by several competing gangs. In the meantime, the Op is spending time with Dinah Brand, a possible love interest of the late Donald, who is connected to a local gang. However, when the Op wakes up the next morning, he finds Dinah stabbed to death with the ice pick he handled the previous evening. The Op becomes a suspect for Dinah's murder, wanted by the police, so he tries to solve the puzzle in front of him in order to clear his name and finish the job.

    “Enthralling . . . Boyne’s novel can stand comparison with William Golding’s Rites of Passage . . . Mutiny is storytelling at its most accomplished.” —The Independent (UK) 
     
    Internationally bestselling author John Boyne has been praised as “one of the best and original of the new generation of Irish writers” by the Irish Examiner. With Mutiny, he’s created an eye-opening story of life—and death—at sea. 
     
    Fourteen-year-old pickpocket John Jacob Turnstile has just been caught red-handed and is on his way to prison when an offer is put to him—a ship has been refitted over the last few months and is about to set sail with an important mission. The boy who was expected to serve as the captain’s personal valet has been injured and a replacement must be found immediately. 
     
    Given the choice of prison or a life at sea, John soon finds himself on board, meeting the captain, just as the ship sets sail. The ship is the Bounty, the captain is William Bligh, and their destination is Tahiti. Their journey, however, will become one of the most infamous in naval history. 
     
    Mutiny is the first novel to explore all the events relating to the Bounty’s voyage, from the long passage across the ocean to their adventures on the island of Tahiti and the subsequent forty-eight-day expedition toward Timor. This vivid retelling of the notorious mutiny is packed with humor, violence, and historical detail, while presenting an intriguingly different portrait of Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian than has ever been presented before. 
     
    “The writing grows into a mesmerizing tour-de-force . . . this is a remarkable and compelling piece of storytelling.” —The Irish Times
