AKA Sea Lord. Read by David Case

A cutter called 'Sunflower'...

...a horrid family...

...and a missing Van Gogh.

Salcombe, South Devon coast

Never read a Cornwell standalone before and am smitten. Similar in style to a Robert Goddard.

 

Wandering sea gypsy Johnny Rossendale is caught up in a series of violent events as he investigates the strange history of a painting, the most treasured part of his family's inheritance. But Johnny, Earl of Stowey, has eight centuries of robber-baron blood in his veins, all boiling for revenge.
