About This Book

Andrew Johnstone, living in the Canadian bush after a thwarted military career, reflects on ties to Appleyard and his relations back home. Circumstances draw him from solitude into the coastal borderlands, where signals, a lighthouse, a wreck and a missing paper initiate a tightening investigation. Motorcycle pursuit, covert meetings at sea and shore-side confrontations follow as he pieces together clues and closes in on those responsible. The plot builds to a final reckoning that resolves the danger and brings an unexpected personal happiness.
