Blown Off Course is the seventh novel in the John Pearce series by author David Donachie.
Lieutenant John Pearce is in London seeking protection for his friends, the Pelicans, from a reluctant Navy Department.
Lacking the perjury evidence he once had to bring Captain Ralph Barclay to justice, his prospects weren’t very promising. Ralph Barclay’s young wife, Emily, refuses to live under the same roof with him, and she has a way to go her own way: evidence that Pearce believes was lost at sea.
Pearce’s companions finally arrive in London just in time to join Pearce in catching a ship full of contraband from France – an illegal but profitable move. Are Pearce and his Pelicans headed for prosperity or danger?
