Warrick Dyer is a man haunted by his many years before the mast with the Royal Navy.
Sold to a press gang at the age of nine, he spent his early years as a powder monkey, lighting cannon fuses aboard the HMS Pelorus. An intense ringing in his ears is the main “prize” he took away from the King’s employ. He makes do with a handful of hours of sleep each night, and the scowl on his face seems a permanent fixture.
He rose through the naval ranks through grit and fierce fighting skills. His captain claimed no one could board an enemy ship as fearlessly and ruthlessly as Warrick Dyer.
His dreams of earning his own ship’s command died around the time he became a first lieutenant. The war was over, no titled or wealthy patrons would plead his cause, and the Admiralty had no use for him.
When his ship was paid off, he slipped away to the rookeries of Seven Dials to join his brothers in the enterprise that would become known as the province of The Four Horsemen.
There’s no love lost between Mrs. Beatrice Rowe and the Four Horsemen’s gang leader ruling the London docks.
Widow of the late James Rowe and current owner of Rowe shipping, Beatrice has no illusions about who is behind the skimming of goods, by way of lightermen, off her merchant ships. But lately, her ledger books are showing alarming discrepancies which she attributes to the insatiable greed of Warrick Dyer. She threatens to expose him to the magistrate, but for once, he’s innocent. Someone else is trying to ruin her, and Warrick must race against time to reveal the true culprit. Her brother-in-law threatens to enact a clause from her late husband’s will and take away her leadership of the company because of incompetence. He wants to seize the shipping empire and disinherit her son.
Can Warrick afford to risk not only his business, but that of his brothers for the love of a woman? Can Beatrice risk her son’s future, and her heart, to take a chance on the word of a crime lord? Pre-order today and don't miss this installment of Bow Street's Most Wanted - The Four Horsemen.
