Capsize: A Nautical Detective Story
“This might be the best nautical detective story this year.”
Albert Griesmayr, Founder of Scribando
A light-hearted nautical detective story of a seventeen-ton lead keel loaded with six kilos of weapons-grade plutonium (enough for a nuclear explosion) wandering around the Riviera.
Searching for it are its owner, a millionaire who wants to make a killing by selling it to the Middle East’s highest bidder, a former racing skipper, his teenage son, and a tall, blonde Swedish policewoman who can dive, punch hard and shoot straight. Mix into this Provençal Bouillabaisse the Corsican Mafia, an underwater hijacking, a pink-painted racing yacht advertising a non-existent beer, and a murderous off-shore shoot-out, and you have the menu for a good weekend read .
If you love detective stories and the sea, this is the book for you!

One of those books you just don't put down. A thoroughly masterful novel by the autor who obviously knows his stuff when it comes to boats and sailing. Can highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good action packed adventure novel in a nautical environment. Interesting and believable in it's depiction of how the Swedish police force work which may raise an eyebrow or two.
