Turn a Blind Eye by Alaric Bond
The South Coast of England, and smuggling is rife.Autumn, 1801. Newly appointed to the local revenue cutter, Commander Griffin is determined to make his mark, and defeat a major gang of smugglers. But the country is still at war with France and it is an unequal struggle; can he depend on support from the local community, or are they yet another enemy for him to fight?With dramatic action on land and at sea, Turn a Blind Eye exposes the private war against the Treasury with gripping fact and fascinating detail.
Alaric Bond has had a varied career, writing for various periodicals, television, radio comedy as well as the stage. He now focuses on historical nautical fiction with thirteen published novels, eleven of which are in his acclaimed 'Fighting Sail' series. Set during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, these have no central hero but feature characters from all ranks and stations; an innovative approach that gives an exciting and realistic impression of life aboard a warship of the period. Apart from writing, Alaric enjoys sailing, cycling and playing an assortment of musical instruments rather badly. Until recently he ran a successful restaurant with his wife; they have two children and live in Sussex.
