J.H.Mann is an award-winning journalist and writer living in the South West of England. He says, 'Many of my stories are set in the wonderful county of Cornwall where truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction. I have swum and surfed there much of my life. It has always been a special place for me with its legends, soaring cliffs, rugged moors and wild seas. The landscape has a raw, mystical magic. My father and mother's recollections of rescues and tragedies on the North coast are often the inspiration for my stories. My father became one of the county's early lifeguards after his predecessor was killed by a strike of lightning while standing in waist-deep water. '
A lifeboat is lost off Cornwall's wild Atlantic coast. All eight crewmen die. The cause is never fully explained. Ten years later, Kate Tregillis, the editor of a small, struggling newspaper, becomes obsessed with solving the long-standing mystery. Her investigations provoke a backlash of threats and violence in the insular fishing community of St Branok. In exposing the truth, she risks the future of her newspaper and even her life - and learns that the man she loves has his own secrets.
Cornwall’s wild, soaring cliffs, vast beaches and bleak moors have
always been special places for me.
