Time & Tide by Shirley Mckay
1582, St Andrews. In the swell of a storm, a ship is wrecked in the harbour. The only survivor is a young Flemish sailor. The cargo brings devastation to the town as squabbling turns to tragedy. Hew traces the ship to its source in Ghent, where he uncovers a strange secret and finds his principles tested to the core.'A gripping mystery that holds the reader to the very last page, and a marvellous portrait of St Andrews in the sixteenth century'
-- John Burnside'Shirley McKay is an intelligent and entertaining novelist who deserves to be better knownTV producers take note: these books, with their vividly realised settings, just beg to be dramatised'
