Nefarious: Sailboat Racing In The Salish Sea

By Antonio J. Hopson

In the Pacific Northwest, sin has a new playground - and the Devil just joined the crew.

Every summer, the world's most dangerous sailors descend on the Salish Sea for Race Week - a floating carnival of ambition and sabotage where fortunes are lost and reputations drowned. Dan Swardstrom, skipper of the infamous Nefarious, is the kind of man who collects both trophies and enemies. But when a drunken stunt, a mysterious pit girl, and a stranger with a harpoon converge on the same wind-torn course, the race becomes something far darker than sport.

Somewhere between heaven and the harbor, a writer obsessed with redemption, a crew haunted by their own desires, and a devil with time to kill collide in a storm of lust, lies, and seawater. Beneath the rum, the rivalry, and the roar of the wind lies one question: how far will a man go to win - and what part of his soul will he trade to do it?

Part Fight Club, part Old Man and the Sea, and part American Gods, Nefarious is a sharp, darkly funny novel about obsession, temptation, and the dangerous poetry of the sea. It's a sailor's gospel, a devil's love story, and a hymn for those who refuse to sail straight.
