About this book
Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Wrecker plunges readers into the foggy world of coastal towns and shadowy dockyards, where a seemingly accidental shipwreck becomes the spark for an adventurous investigation. Through a lively mix of travelogue, detective inquiry, and seafaring adventure, the narrative stitches together vivid characters—roguish sailors, curious outsiders, and morally ambiguous locals—whose secrets ripple outward like tide-worn wreckage. Atmospheric, witty, and brimming with suspense, The Wrecker invites you to unravel a layered puzzle of greed, loyalty and the sea’s dark allure without ever losing its sense of fun.
