Based on actual events about an American merchant vessel discovered off the coast of Spain in 1872, this novel--from the prize-winning author of Property--is a spellbinding exploration of love, nature, and the fictions that pass as truth. - "A sly and masterly historical novel, written with intelligence and flair." --The New York Times Book Review

1872: the American merchant vessel Mary Celeste is discovered adrift off the coast of Spain. Her cargo is intact and there is no sign of struggle, but her crew has disappeared, never to be found.

As news of the derelict ghost ship spreads, the Mary Celeste captures imaginations around the world--from a Philadelphia spiritualist medium named Violet Petra to an unknown young writer named Arthur Conan Doyle. In a haunted, death-obsessed age, the Mary Celeste is by turns a provocative mystery, an inspiration to creativity, and the tragic story of a family doomed by the sea.
