39 - The Ship in the Storm is a gripping, fast-paced tale of mystery and suspense.

The story is centred around a ship that mysteriously arrives on the east coast of the US, carrying a secret that dates back to World War II.
Suspicious of the ship’s arrival and the captain’s claims of a secret war-time mission, the US Navy sends a team to investigate and to determine if the ship is a threat. While in Britain, the Royal Navy start their own investigation and, with help from a brilliant young assistant, they discover a secret that has remained hidden since World War Two – the ship is loaded with gold bullion.
With the threat of a diplomatic crisis looming, the Royal Navy must attempt to rescue the ship and her precious cargo before the US Navy learns the truth and detains both the ship and her crew for good.

The story is partly inspired by Brian May’s (Queen) song ’39, and founded on the historical events of Operation Fish, a World War II secret operation.

"a riveting story that seamlessly blends history and mystery to create a page turning narrative." (Lucy / Amazon review)
