On this episode of Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler welcome bestselling author Samuel Marquis to dive deep into his new book, Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal (Diversion Books/Simon & Schuster).

For over 300 years, Captain William Kidd has been one of the most infamous names in maritime history — painted as a ruthless pirate who plundered ships and slit throats. But Marquis, Kidd’s ninth-great-grandson, reveals a far more complex truth: Kidd was a celebrated pirate hunter, respected New York family man, and trusted ally to the King of England… until political betrayal turned him into history’s fall guy.
