The Visit

Viac o knihe

The Visit is about a visit to the secret world of the north east coast of Scotland. We accompany Charles, a sophisticated English business man cone to Cuilly to see his son who is living there on social security and with him meet the surprising variety of people who live there, including the glamorous American Patti and her visiting sister and the aged local fishers, retired teachers and weekenders who make up the population. We share some of the hardships of coastal life with him until the disappearance of Jack the local hero, friend to all brings Inspector Sim to the tiny village to unravel the mystery. He is not making much progress when cheery funeral wake is disrupted. Jack's body has been found, but where has he been and how did he get there and who was responsible. Everyone has a theory but it is deaf old Flora who holds the major clue as Inspector Sim painstakingly puts the jigsaw together and solves the puzzle.
