A flat calm. A low tide. A secret revealed…
One summer, fifteen years ago, Mark Clayton took four months off work and told his wife he was going to sail north from New England, to chart the elusive north-west passage. A solo voyage of grit and adventure. He returned a little over eight weeks later, with tales of high winds and polar bears, summer storms, crushing ice, and the sinking of his yacht somewhere amongst the islands and rocky outcrops of northern Canada.
There were others involved in his rescue to verify his tale. Why then, fifteen years later, has an historically low tide off the shores of Cape Ann in Massachusetts revealed Clayton’s vessel, buried, completely intact, in the sand?
Clayton’s wife wants answers. It’s not a question for the police, and so the case comes to Sam Vikström. But what Vikström at first assumes will be little more than a case of a husband’s lies, soon turns deadly, as more than one secret bleeds from the hull of the rediscovered ship…
