Tidewrack

Iain Findlater was a news editor on the Daily Courier in London. While covering a conference in Edinburgh, he arranged to stay in an hotel in Craigmouth so that he could visit the nearby Craigmouth Bay to see the abundant bird life there. It was hardly twenty miles east of Edinburgh, on the East Lothian coast, so it was quite convenient.
There, he heard of the recent death of a local landowner which was something of a mystery to the local people. By chance he met the young widow who was now living alone in Craigness House on the shore of the Bay.
After returning to London, he was later drawn back to Craigmouth by a series of events and rapidly became involved in activities that culminated in a violent death and a new romance.
