Professional yachtsman and Olympic medallist Steve Simpson has problems. His wife has died and his Chichester sail-making business is under threat. When Steve and his daughter Sarah find the body of a young Dane in the sea off the Sussex coast they are inextricably sucked into an international blackmail and drugs conspiracy. The story describes fourteen days that will change Steve’s life. It is a test that leads him to new love and a rebirth of his hopes. This tense mystery-thriller moves swiftly from Sussex to Copenhagen with interludes in Portsmouth, Italy and Scotland, and ends with a sea chase in a gale.
