Synopsis

Savannah, 1857. The nation is three years closer to dreaded disunion. And Second Lieutenant Andrew Gunn is about to sail straight into the gathering storm that threatens to tear it apart.

The Dred Scott decision has just shaken the foundations of American law. Across the South, old wounds are festering into something deeper and far more dangerous. And in the port city of Savannah—beautiful, gracious, and rotting at its core—Gunn discovers something that should be impossible.

Someone is moving to restart the Atlantic slave trade.

For treasure, yes. But also for treachery.

What begins as a routine assignment aboard the Revenue Cutter Dobbin becomes something Gunn never prepared for—the discovery of a conspiracy so deeply embedded in the commerce, politics, and society of the antebellum South that exposing it means trusting no one around him. The city charmingly smiles at him. The harbor looks peaceful and benign. Yet shaded somewhere beneath the moss-draped elegance of Georgia's crown jewel, men with money and ambition are gambling with the lives of thousands.

Gunn has survived moral crisis before. He knows what it costs to stand alone on the right side of a crooked line drawn by powerful, devious men. But this time, he is not just standing on the side of one man's freedom. This time, the line threatens to divide an entire nation. Like a lit fuse, it could ignite a civil war.

He will risk his reputation. He will risk his commission. He will risk his life to stop it.

Richly atmospheric, morally urgent, and relentlessly gripping, Hear the Wind's Voice delivers everything that made Find the Wind's Eye exceptional and then pushes far beyond. Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Dred Scott era and grounded in the real history of the antebellum South, this is nautical fiction operating at the highest level of the craft.

Some storms begin on the water. This one begins in the hearts of men.
