Malcolm Archibald 
The Golden Voyage 
(Detective Mendick Victorian Crime)

When Detective Sergeant James Mendick is sent to find the Duke of Mathon’s stolen yacht, he soon realises that this is no ordinary case. Trapped aboard a mysterious ship sailing the South Atlantic, he finds himself in a world of cut-throats, criminals and a captain strangely obsessed with Greek mythology. Accompanied only by the likes of Liverpool packet-rats and a spirited fiddle-playing female sailor, Mendick must do his duty and navigate his way to the truth.
Who would go to such lengths to steal a steam yacht, and why?

Following A Burden Shared and The Darkest Walk, The Golden Voyage is the third in the series of Victorian crime novels featuring Scotland Yard Detective James Mendick.
