The Wrecker Excerpt

Short Summary: A sunken ship. A forged identity. A chase across the world. In this high-stakes adventure, Stevenson and Osbourne blend travel writing, satire, and suspense with a seafaring heart.

"The Currency Lass rode in strangely. No flag, no crew. Only the Pacific wind and a mystery on board."

Dodd and Pinkerton, unlikely partners in finance and fate, find their mundane business dealings transformed into a hunt for the truth—one involving shipwrecks, shadowy figures, and vanished fortunes.

From San Francisco’s boardrooms to Tahitian reefs, The Wrecker fuses thriller pacing with literary craft. With every page, the line between pursuit and obsession narrows, and the moral waters grow ever murkier.

Here is Stevenson in an experimental mode, co-writing a complex narrative that questions identity and success in a rapidly globalizing world. It’s a novel where the wreck isn’t just the ship—it’s the lives caught in the undertow of ambition.
