Sailing with the Stars

This is a detective thriller, packed with action and suspense, for the young, both boys and girls, the young at heart, and those who wish they still were. As not all readers will be hardened mariners, having served many years before the mast, care has been taken to ensure the non-nautical reader won't feel all at sea, so to give these shipmates a hand, the sometimes unusual phraseology is explained. The author also does want you to really feel you are climbing the ratlines, hauling yourself up by your cold hands grasping the greasy rigging, whilst you look up at the mast head swaying across the dark threatening clouds, before climbing onto the yardarm to bundle up the sail. It's also possible that some might think the idea of Knights Templar being involved is just a bit fanciful. Be assured there are still some afloat today, including a few worthy youngsters. In this case, four teenage members of the Order, outwit a criminal gang, the police and the customs, but delight the intelligence agencies.
