Jolie Rouge is the spellbinding historical-fiction prequel to Reckoning at Little Bear, intertwining the nefarious career of Bartholomew Roberts with a macabre yarn of terror and deceit that will leave you with second thoughts about venturing too far from shore.
In 1721, Roberts was at the pinnacle of his career as a rogue captain aboard the Royal Fortune. His exploits confirmed his standing as the greatest marauder in the Golden Age of Piracy. Three centuries later, a group of college friends reunite for a week of treasure hunting in the southern Bahamas, where their path fortuitously crosses Roberts’s storied past. Danger befalls them when the friends are abducted at sea and entangled in a modern-day ring of international piracy from which there seems no escape.
