Sam grew up in the shadow of the secret state Her father was an undercover agent full of tall stories about tradecraft & traitors Then he died killed in the line of duty Now Sam has travelled to Hoy in Orkney to piece together the puzzle of her father's past Haunted by echoes of childhood holidays Sam is sure the truth lies buried here somewhere What she finds is a tiny island of dramatic skies swooping birds rugged sea stacks & just four hundred people An island remote enough to shelter someone who doesn't want to be found An island small enough to keep a secret
