The Peel Incident: The Screenplay

By Drew Simpson and John Simpson

Book Description - KDP Version

In the lawless waters of the Thousand Islands, revenge is becoming a revolution.

The border between Upper Canada and the United States is alive with smugglers, spies, rebels, and gunboats. Along the rugged shores of the St. Lawrence River, notorious pirate William Johnston wages a private war against the British Empire-and the powerful men he blames for destroying his family.

But as rebellion spreads across the frontier, Johnston's daughter Kate is drawn into a far more dangerous game.

Beautiful, intelligent, and fiercely independent, Kate becomes entangled between loyalty to her father, a passionate but troubled romance, and a British officer carrying secrets that could change the course of the conflict. While hidden alliances form in taverns, stagecoaches, and shadowed river channels, a deadly mission begins to unfold-one that could ignite war across the border.

As Patriot rebels prepare their attack, every choice carries a cost.

Inspired by true events and set against the explosive tensions of the Patriot War, The Peel Incident is a sweeping historical thriller filled with espionage, betrayal, forbidden love, and frontier justice.
