The Devil's Net — G.M. Hague

It's a voyage of the Damned. The blessing of the fishing fleet is more than a ritual. It's God's protection from the demons of the sea. Captain John Boston has no time for God and blessings anymore. The church has betrayed him with the local priest refusing to protect his sister from a violent husband, and Boston's wife is seriously ill. His boat the Cormorant hasn't had much luck this season and some people are whispering that God has turned his gaze from John Boston too, because he wouldn't accept the priest's traditional blessing. Now the Cormorant is sailing one last time to try and fill its holds with fish. There's more than bad weather and empty nets waiting for them. The devil has a boat of his own and he's out on the cold ocean, trawling for dead men and their souls.
