Judge Malvolent

In the spring of 1711, a man arrives at Falmouth harbour with a boats hold full of gold and silver. He claims to be a merchant from Charleston. It is obvious to all he is a pirate, but with his fortune the locals are only too happy to share in his wealth and help themselves at every opportunity. With him are seven others, whom he claims are his business associates. His only wish is to become a landowner and something in society, and to marry a pretty lady of class. But having been at sea since the tender age of seven means life on land is a total mystery, and etiquette is but a French word. This is his story of romance, adventure, and understanding, as he succeeds in his goal against the odds and most of his men.
