Ashes Over the Abyss

In the Atlantic Republic, a ten-year quest for a missing brother leads Elias Trent to infiltrate the illegal trawler Abyssal Fortune, a floating hell of slave labour. When the captives rise, their revolt collides with a landmark Supreme Court case—Marwood v. Deepwater Harvest Inc.—that exposes the law’s cold silence over the high seas. C.J. Sansom’s signature slow-burn dread fuels this tale of vengeance too late to rebuild a life, yet a new horizon waits beyond the flame.
