Summary

Newly out of the hospital and totally out of funds, young Ralph Leslie longs for a long sea voyage. So he jumps at the chance to sign aboard millionaire Marshall Turner's luxurious super-yacht as steward to the passengers lodged in its after house. His job is easy sailing-until, one sultry summer night, the dream voyage suddenly becomes a nightmare of blood and terror. One ship's officer is thrown overboard. Another is hacked to death with an axe. The killer strikes again and again, and theElla is awash in a wave of panic that engulfs passengers and crew alike. Only one hand aboard-ex-landlubber Leslie-seems enough in control to stay the bloody hand of the murderer. But he'll have to stay alive to do it-and that isn't going to be easy!
