The Beckoning Ice: Wiki Coffin mysteries, #5

By Joan Druett

The fifth in the Wiki Coffin series finds the U. S. Exploring Expedition off Cape Horn, a grim outpost made still more threatening by the report of a corpse on a drifting iceberg, closely followed by a gruesome death on board.  Was it suicide, or a particularly brutal murder? Wiki investigates, only to find himself fighting desperately for his own life.

“Combining historical and nautical accuracy with a fast paced mystery thriller has produced a marvelous book which is highly recommended.” -- David Hayes, Historic Naval Fiction
