When Father Bredder gets involved with murder--Heaven only knows what will happen next...

This time, Father Bredder finds himself embroiled in a mystery reminiscent of Murder on the Orient Express set on a boat during the Transpac Yacht Race to Honolulu.

Father Bredder joins the crew of the Fair Maid to determine if the captain of the boat is cursed or if someone is trying to kill him.

Named "A Red Badge Novel of Suspense" alongside Agatha Christie, Michael Innes, and Hugh Pentecost, The Father Bredder Mysteries, written by Leonard Wibberley under the pen name Leonard Holton, inspired a television show starring George Kennedy.

Also available in Boxed Sets for Books 1-3, Books 4-6, and Books 7-9.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A Touch of Jonah gives us landlubbers the next best thing to being part of that exhilarating, grueling and wonder-filled obstacle course that is the Transpac ocean race without our having to run its dangers. This is a superior piece of craft--the transference of the actual sensate quality of race sailing to words on paper. And Holton has done it, surprisingly enough, in the form of a mystery book, one of his Father Bredder series"--The Los Angeles Times

From the Author

"I have been sailing since boyhood," writes Leonard Wibberley "and have always wanted to enter an ocean race. I had a 40-foot yawl named Bahia and tried to enter her in last year's Transpac but she was ruled out as being of an old-fashioned gaff rig on her main.

"So I sold the yawl and bought a modern 34-foot racing sloop. Alas, she did not qualify in on particular measurement and was also ruled out. But I decided to race this new boat Cu Na Mara (Gaelic for "Hound of the Sea") anyway.

"She proved almost impossible to handle in the waves of the ocean. For 1500 miles we fought her, being twice knocked on our beam ends when she would not answer her helm and ran across the wind. We finally put in at Maui in lead of Oahu, 17 days out of San Pedro. We had suffered rudder trouble and some damage to the center board.

"On our return to California, my son Christopher resolutely turned his back on the sea and look to football as being less hazardous."
