The Blackbirder by James Nelson
Thomas Marlowe, former pirate and captain of the Guardship, lives prosperously on his tobacco plantation near Williamsburg with his lovely wife Elizabeth. But when King James, the huge ex-slave who is in command of Marlowe's sloop, kills the crew of a slaveship and makes himself the most wanted man in, Marlowe is forced to go and hunt him down.
