Heroes And Baddies Abound,,,
Cornwall. A body has been discovered at the Cape and a Cornish volunteer coastguard watchkeeper decides to launch his own investigation. An adventure in all senses of the word as heroes and baddies abound and conspiracies take precedence.

Written with charm and gusto, Richard Trahair's Cornish adventure thriller is peopled with larger than life heroes and the sort of baddies you might expect in a James Bond novel. It reminded me of The Riddle Of The Sands and The Thirty-Nine Steps and any number of Boys' Own Adventure thrillers.
Coincidences come thick and fast and just add to the pleasure of the read. Cape Cornwall is drawn with precision and love as only a (half) Cornishman could do. Petroc Tomlyn and his wife are characters I will never forget.
