Woman Who Walked into the Sea
Mark Douglas-Home
The daughter who nobody wanted learns the truth about the mother she never knew. A page-turning, heart-breaking mystery. "full of surprises...this is a classic whodunit." (Scotsman). Cal McGill is a unique investigator and oceanographer who uses his expertise to locate things - and sometimes people - lost or missing at sea. His expertise could unravel the haunting mystery of why, twenty-six years ago on a remote Scottish beach, Megan Bates strode out into the cold ocean and let the waves wash her away. Megan's daughter, Violet Wells, was abandoned as a baby on the steps of a local hospital just hours before the mother she never knew took her own life. As McGill is drawn into Violet's search for the truth, he encounters a coastal community divided by obsession and grief, and united only by a conviction that its secrets should stay buried...Praise for The Woman Who Walked into the Sea: "Simply intoxicating." (Library Journal, USA). "Entertaining and gripping mystery." (The Herald). "A classic whodunit." (The Scotsman). "Cal McGill is a triumph...a wonderfully unique creation." (crimefictionlover.com). "Great writing, enjoyable story-telling and wonderful characterisation." (The Scots Magazine).
