"When eight-year-old Iain Madoc's father first took him out on a boat, something happened to George Madoc, which changed him. It was as if Iain didn't have a real father at all. Now, years later, Iain's dying mother tells him that in 1944 George Madoc, the skipper of an RAF launch, was on a secret mission to the fishing village of St Cyriac in France. But the mission went wrong. George came home, unable to ever speak about what happened. Her revelation that George Madoc's wrecked launch has been found, prompts Iain to discover the truth. He travels to St Cyriac, where for some, the past is still dangerously alive, and realises that his own family may have to pay the price of uncovering it ..."
"Iain Madoc has always had a fraught relationship with his father, a man whose coldness stems back to a disastrous WWII mission that almost took his life. When Iain's dying mother leaves him with a clue about what happened, he sets off for the tiny Breton village of St Cyriac, determined to discover the truth.--Publisher."
