About this listen

PIRACY, CONSPIRACY … MURDER?

An influential shipping firm, Goldwaters, pays Eric Ward a large retainer to work for them, much to his surprise. Then one of the Goldwaters fleet, the Sierra Nova, is “arrested” and is unable to leave port.

The reason?

A crew member, Edwards, has been caught in possession of drugs and is accused of smuggling—but now he’s been removed from the ship, why can’t the voyage go ahead?

Then Edwards is murdered on his way to the courtroom.

Ward soon finds himself sinking into the dangerous world of international conspiracy and modern-day piracy.

"The Phantom Murder" is another fantastic mystery in the Eric Ward series. I least enjoyed "The Marriage Murder," the tenth book in the series, but the two books after that, "The Wasteful Murder" and "The Phantom Murder," are excellent and flawlessly plotted and paced.

Excellent.
