The discovery of an abandoned Spanish merchant ship off the coast of America plunges the Ludlows
into a far-reaching conspiracy fueled by jealousy, ambition and nationalistic fervor. The Bucephalas
lies trapped under the gaping muzzles of the 32-pounder Spanish guns of New Orleans' harbor fort.
It quickly becomes clear that the corridors of the governor's residence are just as busy with
treachery, doubled-dealing, and murder as the back alleys of the sweltering city outside. Harry
Ludlow must win freedom for his ship in a deadly game played out in the dark woods of the American
hinterland.

About The Reader
Peter Wickham was bitten early by the travel bug, coming to England from New Zealand as a child.
He has worked all over England and Wales in repertory and is determined to work more in Scotland!
Acting and directing aboard the Q.E.II took him from Singapore to Venezuela, and a short season in
Istanbul followed. In 1990 he directed and appeared in a revue on a tour of Czechoslovakia. Many TV
appearances started in Dixon of Dock Green (during its later years!) and include most recently
A Sense of Guilt. But after theatre his favourite medium is sound; he has been heard many, many
times on radio, in plays, reading poetry, short stories and serials.
