The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers

Carruthers is looking forward to a relaxing holiday when he sets off for the Baltic Sea. Instead he finds himself at the centre of a complicated and deadly plot. Will Carruthers and his friend Arthur Davies discover why the sinister and mysterious Herr Dollmann is so interested in their little yacht, the Dulcibella? What does Clara Dollmann know about her father's plans? What secret scheme has brought Commander von Brüning of the Imperial German Navy to the East Frisian Islands? Can Carruthers and Davies solve the riddle of the sands?

Erskine Childers was an Irish writer and politician who fought in the British Navy during World War I and as an artilleryman during the Boer War. He, like his character Arthur Davies, was a talented yachtsman who enjoyed exploring remote island shores.
