Whispering Tide

Packed off to Boarding School at ten years of age, Cameron didn't return home again for almost four decades. Since then, the world he left behind has changed irrevocably.

Shaped by his experiences as a policeman in India, the bitter taste of the war in Burma, and deep, personal loss, he returns home to confront his father's legacy, a man he barely knew.

Whilst struggling with his own nightmares, he now finds himself taking on the most senior position in the Lochaber Division of the Inverness-shire Constabulary. A 'temporary' position he has now occupied for three years.

Long-suffering housekeeper, Isla was taken on at Glentruim Castle after her husband was killed during the War.

In service as secretary and carer for venerable local advocate and sheriff, old Alexander Cameron, now his son has wandered back from the Far East with an irascible temperament and a penchant for strong drink.

Despite his lordship's unbecoming manner, Isla is not about to let standards drop. With her feisty demeanour, if anyone can keep Lord Dalwhinnie in check, it will be her.

The daughter of an American serviceman during the Second World War, Amelia tracks Cameron down to ask for his help.

Major Stewart's recent disappearance does not appear to have been as straightforward as the authorities have suggested and, suspecting foul play, Amelia searches out a man whom her father remembered from his secret service in Thailand.

If anyone can get to the bottom of what happened to her father, surely the man whose life her father saved from a Japanese prisoner of war camp would be duty bound to accept the call.
