In a tale about a vengeful pirate-hunter's encounters with two notorious buccaneers you can expect a red-hot high-sea adventure filled with roaring cannons and ringing steel. But as the hot-tempered privateer, Toby Heath, pursues his hot-headed quarry from the Florida Keys to the coast of West Africa to the Rock of Gibraltar, he meets an old hot-blooded acquaintance and when they discover there may be more than friendship between them, the story takes an unexpected turn.
