The plane was really near now.  But as I flung myself over the wall I saw Rankin kneeling, rifle to shoulder.  The range was down to point-blank; there was nothing I could do.  The plane's engine drowned the sound of the shot, but I knew Rankin had fired-and hit his target.  "Rankin!  You bloody murdering bastard!"  But my words were swamped by a tearing crash as the plane hit the side of the mountain...  "His story-telling has a drive that is compulsive." Scotsman

In 1909, the crack Blue Anchor liner, the Waratah, sinks without trace, or survivors, off the coast of South Africa. In 1967, the Gemsbok, a Viscount airliner of South African Airways disappears in exactly the same place.  To some it is merely an uncanny mystery. To others a tragedy. People like Ian Fairlie, captain of the weather ship Walvis Bay--whose father was the pilot of the Gemsbok and whose grandfather was the first officer of the Waratah. Ian Fairlie has sworn that he will resolve the mystery. But to do so, he must face cyclonic winds and mountainous seas, risking his ship, his life and the woman he loves...
