The Sugar Secret - Paperback

by Lyle Garford (Author)

In the wake of the Battle of Trafalgar, a secret mission, hidden treasure and a trail of murder threaten to ignite the Caribbean once more.

As the French and British forces collide, they are pulled into a dark web of conspiracy where the fate of two empires hangs in the balance.

Martinique and St. Kitts, 1808

In the aftermath of Trafalgar, French power in the Caribbean is crumbling. With morale at rock bottom and British forces closing in, only Martinique and Guadeloupe remain under French control. Desperate pleas for reinforcements go unanswered ... until Napoleon takes matters into his own hands.

He dispatches Colonel Rémy Bernard, a senior intelligence officer and Knight of Malta, to restore order. But Bernard arrives with a secret agenda: the Knights have uncovered rumours of a priceless treasure hidden decades earlier on the British-held island of St. Kitts-and Bernard is determined to find it. While launching a series of daring raids to keep the British off balance, he begins a covert search that could change the course of the war.

Standing in his way are Captain Evan Ross and Commander James Wilton of the Royal Navy. As they race to halt the French attacks, they are drawn into a darker mystery when a string of brutal, unexplained murders rocks St. Kitts.

With cannons blazing, spies at work and a legendary treasure at stake, Ross and Wilton must uncover the truth before the Caribbean is plunged into chaos once again.

The action-packed new installment of the #1 Bestselling Evan Ross Series.
