About the book
Longlisted for the mcilvanney prize
When the luxury cruiser, quickly renamed Great Britain, docks at Kinloch harbour, DCI Jim Daley is under pressure. The UK Government is hosting a group of influential businessmen and women on a tour of the British isles, golfing and exploring, in an effort to boost global trade. However, with one crew member missing and a local ornithologist vanishing, will the pressure prove too much?
The sudden appearance of someone from Daley's past throws his world into disarray. The fate of the passengers and crew of SS Great Britain, as well as the country's economic prospects, hang in the balance. DS Brian Scott steps up, reluctantly returning to duty at sea with a temporary promotion.
Daley is in a fight for survival, but is this his final gamble?
