Never say "Treasure Map" in a seedy Pirate Tavern! Shanghaied by cutthroats, and regretting his foolish outburst, young Jeremy is forced to scrub the pirate's ship. Captain Beckett had Jeremy's uncle and older brother, wounded and bound, imprisoned deep in the hold, and Jeremy's only prayer of rescuing them lies with a mad pirate who lives in the rigging. But even freed: how can three unarmed captives scupper a crew of bloodthirsty buccaneers? Captain Beckett and his corsairs are keeping them alive only until they gather the clues to solve the Wrecker's mysterious treasure map ... which Jeremy knows is really a deadly lure that will funnel them all into an inescapable death-trap, where he and every hand aboard ship will be butchered ... if he can stay alive long enough to enter the ambuscade.
