Description
A classic spy thriller that takes readers on an exhilarating journey along the treacherous North Sea coast of Germany. The story unfolds through the eyes of Carruthers, a young British yachtsman who embarks on a seemingly innocent sailing trip with his friend Davies.

As they navigate foggy waters, shifting tides, and suspicious locals, Carruthers and Davies race against time to unravel the riddle and save their country. Erskine Childers' gripping narrative skillfully combines elements of espionage, adventure, and nautical expertise, making it a pioneer in the genre of spy fiction. Erskine Childers was an Irish author, diplomat, and Irish nationalist.
