Produktbeschreibung
Captain George Glass, his wife Catherine and their eleven year-old daughter, shared a secret. This family became involved in a mutiny, multiple murders and mayhem on a British ship off the south east coast of Ireland in 1765. This could be a work of fiction, but in fact, it is a true story. A written confession made the night before a criminal was hanged revealed key facts. The story takes us from Dundee in Scotland, to the Canary Islands, West Afria, Senegal and Dublin Bay in Ireland. The saga ends near the town of Dalkey on a small, jagged rock known to locals as The Muglins. Admirers of novelist and travel writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, may be surprised that he too was possibly captivated by the story. However, nobody has yet solved George Glass's riddle ... unless you may already know the answer.
