...years old, Gilmore has spent 18 of the last 21 years in prison having been first incarcerated at the age of 14. In a society where convicts receive little rehabilitative training, and ex-convicts receive no consideration from potential employers, Gilmore has had no alternative but to follow his life of crime to its seemingly inevitable and unpleasant conclusion.

Generations of readers have leaned back joyfully into the author's affectionate knowledge of the sea as they follow the adventures of two young Englishmen who cruise the low-lying islands and tidal sands of the North Sea in a small boat and unravel a plot that involves spying and skullduggery...
