| Summary |
The infamous pirate Anne Bonny is chained up in the hold of a prison ship. Her only friend is baby Molly - whose father, the swaggering Captain Calico Jack, was last seen hanging from a gibbet. Then armed men storm the hold and rip the child from her grasp, and Molly seems lost. But Bonny always has a plan. Now her plan is to escape captivity and rescue her daughter. After which, she intends to track down the ragtag remnants of Calico Jack's crew and break them out of jail too. Alone on the unfamiliar streets of London with a corrupt lawman on her tail and Jacobite rebels rioting on every corner, the odds are against her. How can she possibly fail? |
