Death in Shetland Waters
Marsali Taylor
Works of: Fiction
Cass has returned at last to her beloved tall ship Sørlandet, as third mate. She’s glad to be back at sea, but something doesn’t feel right; there’s a stranger on board, being aided or tracked by her mysterious cousin Sean. Her fellow-officer, Agnetha, looks unwell, and her watch-leader, Erik, also has something on his mind. Then, as they head for Scottish waters, one of the trainees disappears … Cass and her lover DI Gavin Macrae return in a page-turning novel of murder and skullduggery aboard a vividy-evoked modern sail-training ship.
