Kate and Flora Tolmie have always lived with a mystery: what happened to their mother, Christina? Twenty-three years ago, she vanished from coastal northern France, leaving her young daughters orphaned and alone. Now Flora is also missing. In desperation, Kate searches her Edinburgh house, and finds a piece of paper with a name: Cal McGill. Cal is a sea detective, an expert on the winds and the tides, and consequently an exceptionally gifted finder of lost things - and people. Kate hopes that Cal might not only find her sister, but also unlock the mystery of what happened to her mother all those years before?
