Lindum Books is thrilled to welcome the international No.1 Bestselling author, Kate Mosse, on Friday 30th June. Kate will be in conversation with Gill Hart at Lincoln Museum about her new historical novel, The Ghost Ship, an epic love story of concealed identity, piracy and revenge. This tale of defiant women in a man's world is inspired by the real-life story of 18th century pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
The Barbary Coast, 1621. A mysterious vessel floats silently on the water. It is known only as the Ghost Ship. For months it has hunted pirates to liberate those enslaved during the course of their merciless raids, manned by a courageous crew of mariners from Italy and France, Holland and the Canary Islands. Now the Ghost Ship is under attack, its hull splintered, its sails tattered and burnt, and the crew at risk of capture and the bravest among those on board are not who they seem.The stakes could not be higher: if arrested, the crew will be hanged for their alleged crimes. Can they survive the journey and escape their fate?
