''This was my first book and I wrote
it because my father asked me too. He didn't mean for me to
write a whole book, just do a little research about a pirate who'd disgraced the
family in the early 18th century. The man was called Phineas Bunch and had gone from
modest teenage salt raker in the Caribbean to dead at the end of a rope by the age of 19. Along
the way, his path crossed with a man called Bartholomew Roberts, the greatest of the pirates
of the Golden Age''. The Requiem Shark by Nicholas
Griffin
