Censored

"Censored" is the second book in the William Blake series. William and Marie, his new French wife, take to the sea in a Brigantine called the Lady-Bird. Their trip starts out as a honeymoon adventure and a dip into commerce, transporting wines and tea by sail-power. But along the way they become embroiled in a smuggling operation of an epic scale that has left dead and broken lives in its wake. William decides to write an account of the event that will point a finger at those responsible. But respected people in high places cannot allow him to do this.
