About the Book
Mayhem in the Mediterranean…
England, 1929
Young naval officer Paul Dexter is thinking about how to spend his shore leave following the successful return of his ship Mistletoe to home waters from the China seas.
Reports of his adventures have caught the attention of the ambitious Admiral Fitz-Bolsover. He wants him on his staff in Malta where he is taking over as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet.
The Admiral, accompanied by his wife and daughter, are due to sail in the newly fitted out HMS Topgallant, a no-expense-spared yacht with Dexter joining his hand-picked crew.
Also sailing across the Med is the Duke of Pimlico’s luxury yacht La Belle Poule, with her characterful crew, who become stranded in a storm off the Spanish coast.
With the chance of salvage money, the old hands of the Mistletoe reassemble and after a rapid re-fit, the Topgallant races to the rescue… But will Dexter get there in time?
