: |
When a young military officer named Perry meets renegade lady-pirate,
Charlotte Law, they are immediately drawn together by their lust for
riches. Armed with a map, a secret, and a strange little golden scarab,
they embark on a quest for the treasures of the legendary Captain Kidd.
Enlisting the help of a naïve Irishman named Finnegan, they journey from
the dank opium dens to the lush barrier islands of old Charleston. And
along the way, one of them will live an adventure that will eventually
turn into one of the most haunting and memorable escapades to grace
early American literature.
