Description: Murder! Remember when you are at sea you cannot call for the police... Billy Bindle finds more excitement than he bargained for when he sails on the SS Diomed, a decrepit ship crewed by the dregs of the world's seaports. Billy discovers that the ship, launched in Germany in 1935, is haunted by the ghosts of seamen killed in action during the war and the ghost of a sailor lost overboard. The appearance of a little German girl aged about ten puzzles him; who is she and what is she doing on this old tramp-steamer? This story follows the exploits of Billy as he faces up to murder, mutiny and attacks from modern-day pirates. This is a book which involves the reader from the beginning to the end and is hard to put down.
