Sam has just turned 18 and is travelling to Orkney with her father. She
has known all her life that he is an undercover cop, but she really
doesn’t know a lot about his work. She wonders at the reason for him
wanting to holiday in Orkney. She asks her friend Tom, an aspiring
journalist, to come along.
In Stormness, Sam is sure that she saw her father pick up a book at a
drop. Was he a spy, to? While out for a walk, Sam and Tom discover a
place where somebody had been lying, and observing their cottage. Why
would someone be doing that? In a pub, she sees a strange man that
looks out of place on the island.
Tom is sure that Sam’s father is meeting a woman on the island. Sam is
shocked when they discover the truth. But why would the woman be
passing him an envelope? What Sam learns about her father goes far
beyond what she expected.
Author Clare Carson’s thriller starts very slowly, but becomes action packed in the last third of the book. A good read.
