A moonlit surprise. An assault and failed attempt at murder takes place on a boat at anchor in a quiet cove on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay.

Robert Chappell wants a relaxing, autumn weekend on the Bay. He has his boat, Jupiter, for adventure and shelter, and his girlfriend, Edith, for company. As he searches for why the attack happened, Chappell relies on his experience as a journalist to contend with police and dodgy, dark characters on the Chesapeake’s Western and Eastern Shores. He weaves his way among lethal threats while dealing with unusual circumstances from his girlfriend’s divorce, her work as an analyst for the National Security Agency, and other lives she leads apart from him.

About the Author

For decades Jim Sayler has lived up to his last name by boating under sail and power on Chesapeake Bay. Sailing offers him a way of life that has given him a break from duress when he worked as a writer, starting as a cub reporter for the "Washington Star". Sayler's study of human nature continued as an analyst for Congress, employed by "Congressional Quarterly". Then, he began a 30-year career on Capitol Hill with the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress, becoming a senior analyst and editor. Sayler took a break from Capitol Hill as a journalist-research writer for the "New York Times"; a trade book editor for "Reader's Digest's Funk and Wagnalls"; and then writing radio news for the Columbia Broadcasting System's NewsRadio 88 in New York City. Altogether, with a few lethal risks, a career of adventure

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging Read

The author creates an ever evolving action packed plot peopled by such characters as an ex-Marine turned newspaper reporter, a wily aristocrat wannabe, and a small group of thugs with too much time on their hands. All of this is artfully presented with the scenic Chesapeake Bay as the backdrop. This is an easy and enjoyable afternoon read.

A smashing good yarn! An intriguing mystery with lots of adventure and lore on sailing, particularly on the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chesapeake savvy mystery
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
This is a well-written mystery with believable characters; where it particularly stands out is in its "sailor savvy" knowledge not only of the ins and outs of sailing a small boat, but in its detailed knowledge of the whole Chesapeake Bay. Anyone with a boat on said waterway will especially enjoy reading this mystery, and will probably want to alert all of their sailboat-owning friends. But I must emphasize that even this landlubber (me) enjoyed the story and the characters, while I also learned much more about boating than I anticipated. A fun read all around!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chesapeake Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
An engaging thriller with a strong plot. In many ways the Chesapeake Bay is the book's central character, alternately accommodating and threating. It's a sailor's ode to the water.
