Book excerpt: In 1721, Bartholomew Roberts was at the pinnacle of his career as a rogue captain aboard the Royal Fortune. On the horizon, he spies the HMS Frizzington and her escorts sailing to Jamaica with supplies for a sugar plantation. With resounding conviction, Roberts vanquishes the hapless English, confirming his standing as the greatest pirate in the Golden Age of Piracy. Three centuries later, a group of college friends reunite for a week of treasure hunting in the southern Bahamas, where their path inexplicably crosses Roberts' storied past. Danger befalls them when the friends are abducted at sea and entangled in a ring of international piracy from which there seems no escape. Jolie Rouge is a spellbinding tale that intertwines the nefarious historical fiction career of Bartholomew Roberts with a macabre yarn of terror and deceit that will leave you contemplating about venturing too far from shore.
