Title: Nailing Frank
First published: October 4, 2005
Description: An adventure story. The protagonist, Jacob, is in pusuit of Frank who is the most dangerous of three con-men that Jacob encounters. Dr Jo Stanley's endorsement (the hidden history of gay life at sea) : "If Somerset Maugham got gritty and worked on a ship today he would have written something with this panache and gutsiness. Is Paul Mann's best book yet, tightly plotted and witty. Jacob, the fictional purser-narrator, merits a movie to star in."
Subjects: Seafaring life, Fiction, Swindlers and swindling
