Gretchen Eick's fourth novel is based on Britain's biggest drug bust in 1984, which the British government silenced for 80 years. When an inexperienced crew sailed a yacht full of cannabis resin from Lebanon to England, events in the Middle East were alarming the British and U.S. governments. It was the beginning of the war on terror. Why did Britain classify information about this case for a highly unusual 80 years? What is the story behind Operation Bishop and how might it be connected to law-breakers within government? Eick includes a study guide and discussion of sources in this fictionalized account that grew from legal papers kept by one of the crew. Available on order from any bookstore and from Amazon in ebook (epub and kindle) and paperback.
