The Devil’s Mantle

On a sweltering island in the South Seas, a young drifter takes a temporary post with a pearl trader. But when a stranger’s eyes appear at the window just after a valuable shipment arrives, an uneasy night turns into a nightmare. A vicious attack leaves only one survivor—badly wounded and adrift on the open sea.

Awakening to find himself lashed to a sinking boat, he discovers a cryptic key hidden on board, a clue that may lead to the truth behind the brutal crime. As he battles thirst, injury, and the relentless sun, he must summon every ounce of resilience to survive—and to hunt down the killers who left him for dead.

But the key holds a secret that could plunge him into even greater danger. The hunt is on, and the devil’s mantle has only begun to spread its shadow.
