Summary

Deadly Sails - Complete Collection offers an enthralling voyage through the turbulent seascapes of classic literature, charting a course across an eclectic array of storytelling styles and thematic depths. This anthology, a treasure trove of maritime exploits and nautical intrigue, gathers timeless tales that traverse the spectral shadows of gothic horror, the buoyant winds of romance, and the invigorating currents of adventure. Among its many gems, the collection showcases haunting reflections on peril at sea, romantic maritime escapades, and vivid portrayals of life on the oceans, all crafted by masters of the written word. The anthology assembles a formidable roster of literary icons, each contributing their unique voice to the collection's overarching theme of sea-bound peril and discovery. Rooted in the rich traditions of 19th and early 20th-century literature, these stories reflect the evolving perspectives of the Industrial era's rapidly changing world and the perennial fascination with the sea's mysteries. The juxtaposition of authors from different cultural and historical contexts provides a multifaceted look into the era's collective psyche, where romanticism was often at odds with the unforgiving nature of reality. For readers eager to embark on a literary journey encompassing sweeping adventures and thought-provoking narratives, Deadly Sails - Complete Collection presents an unparalleled opportunity. By delving into this compilation, one gains access to a rich tapestry of human experience as seen through the eyes of some of history's most venerable writers. This anthology is not merely a collection of seafaring lore but an invitation to explore the profound dialogues and intricate tapestries woven from tales of persistence, danger, and discovery, offering both educational enlightenment and stirring entertainment.

    After watching his yacht burn to the waterline in a fiery explosion, Jerry Snyder is forced to make a deal with the only devil who can help track down a lead—his estranged, mob-connected father figure, Arlen Burkhart. 
    The investigation starts on unsure footing, and Jerry’s deal with Arlen goes from bad to worse when, at a funeral held on a private Caribbean island where the uber-wealthy have met to pay respects to one of their own, bodies begin to wash up at Jerry's feet like fish on a red tide. 
    In this luxurious tropical paradise, murder, blackmail, and deceit are the name of the game, and secrets are as abundant as sins. Before Jerry can determine who is trying to kill the funeral attendees, he'll not only have to risk his life, but he’ll also have to confront a past which threatens to claim his very soul.
