A novel of pirates in 1819. Owen Wedgwood has a good job as a chef for Lord Ramsey when the latter's house is broken into by Hannah Mabbot, captain of the Flying Rose. For obscure reasons--obscure at least to Wedgewood, who narrates the story--she murders Ramsey in cold blood and has her pirate minion Mr. Apples kidnap Wedgewood, for she's thrilled to discover he's a cook; it's been difficult to have fine dining aboard a pirate ship. Brown is able to make his narrative both sizzling and swashbuckling.--Kirkus
