Opening scene

Rain hammers the deck. The cabin door shuts behind you, and only a red night lamp glows in the cramped space. The stubble-faced man presses his back against the door, listens until the footsteps outside run off, and only then looks down at you. “Don't make a sound.” He lifts a hand and brushes the wet hair plastered to your face aside, far more gently than his rough look would suggest. “They're Castelli's men. I know them. …No one takes anyone off my ship.” He leans against the door and folds his arms. “But you have to tell me what you dug up. The truth. My boat doesn't carry liars.”
