The Dancing Star; or, The Smuggler of the Chesapeake: A Story of the Coast and Sea

A wealthy young man who seems to have been a bad seed since birth, eventually losing his father's respect and his inheritance, while he is a wanted man falls in with a more experienced criminal and agrees to become employed as a smuggler and pirate. He is opposed by two good men, both sailors, plus a driven lawman less black and white in character, who is chasing him and who has his own story. And of course there is much sailing involved... as should be the case with all novels.
