The Devil's Wind by Steve Goble

Spider is hoping to get out of port safely and begin his trip back home to his woman and their son.  He never meant to be a pirate but it was either that or die.  He's been gone for years and now he wants to go home.

Seventh Street Books sent me an ARC of this book to read for review (thank you).  It will be published September 11th and you can preorder now.

They are trying to hide themselves on board, too.  There's another pirate on there that could give them away.  But that danger goes by the wayside when they find the captain dead in his locked room.  They say it was suicide but Spider doesn't think so..

The rest of the story is made up of different scenarios where different people have been the killer.  He does end up with the right solution but it isn't helping him home.  Another word for the wise:  The women on board are deadly, too.
