The racing trimaran Street Express is anchored in a gale off the coast of southern Ireland. Jimmy Dixon, widower, single father and timber yard owner, and his long-time friend Ed Boniface are championship sailors. Tragedy strikes when the third crew member is washed over board in the storm - or is he? The adrenalin pumps from the first pages of this taut ocean racing drama: Dixon is caught up in a tale of intrigue and high finance, with the beautiful Agnhs at his side.
