Description

“His penultimate novel. “”Retired from the sea, after his fill of adventures and violence and love, old Sandy lives quietly alone in a remote Highland cottage with a barn, a temperamental cow, a few books and a few hundred pounds in the bank. It is the tranquil and reflective evening of his days, Suddenly, willy-nilly, he is commited to a leading part in a tragic drama played out, almost, on his own doorstep.”” VG in Good dustjacket which is frayed at head and foot of spine, with chipping to the edges of the covers.”
