Jolie Rouge is the spellbinding historical-fiction prequel to Reckoning at Little Bear, intertwining the nefarious career of Bartholomew Roberts with a macabre yarn of terror and deceit that will leave you with second thoughts about venturing too far from shore.

Danger befalls them when the friends are abducted at sea and entangled in a modern-day ring of international piracy from which there seems no escape.
