3. Aboard

Falsely charged with murder, dandy spy hero Lucifer Box flees New York aboard a mysterious ship. Read by the author Mark Gatiss.

Falsely accused of murder, Lucifer Box has fled the USA aboard a leaky tub bound for England.

He's spent the journey trying to discover what links a silken fragment of an ancient heathen prayer to the Convent of St Bede.

A comely cabin girl provides welcome distraction.

Mark Gatiss continues his own novel.

Abridged by David Jackson Young.
