Synopsis

Book 1 of 3: Flyntlock Bones

'Welcome to the Black Hound - a ship full o' the cleverest pirate investigators ya ever set eyes upon.' The captain pauses. 'You OK, lad? Ya gone paler than a full moon.'

When young Flynn becomes too old to stay at the Baskervile orphanage, he applies for a job as cabin boy on the Black Hound. But once aboard, the dreadful reality sinks in – he's on a pirate ship! However, with nowhere else in the world to go, he has no option but to give it a try.
