Product Description

Product Description

What is the dark secret that Martin Lancaster's family seem determined to stop him uncovering? When Martin was eighteen, his father was tragically lost at sea during a transatlantic yacht race. Twenty-five years later, Martin discovers hidden logbooks in his mother's attic, and vows to find out the truth. His quest takes him racing across the Atlantic in the Columbus Cup, the world's largest-ever regatta, an event that becomes a personal voyage of discovery and disaster. On the Caribbean island of St Lucia, with his enemies closing in, Martin must make one desperate final sea passage to discover the shocking truth about his family - and himself.

About the Author

Timothy Frost lives in Norfolk, England and Grenada, West Indies. He began writing as a student, but a career as an advertising copywriter intervened, and it was many years before he accomplished his lifelong ambition of writing a full-length thriller. Tim is a keen yachtsman, and sailed the Atlantic from the UK to St Lucia with his wife. His experiences on and around the ocean in the Caribbean provided much of the inspiration and background for his thrillers. Tim's first novel of contemporary nautical skullduggery, "Final Passage", was released in 2009, followed by "The Abigail Affair" in 2010 and "The Shoot" in 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended 2 Dec 2010
By VickiT
Format:Kindle Edition
A thoroughly enjoyable read, full of twists and turns. Great premise, well-drawn characters, and polished writing that flows.

The yachting setting plays a major part - a character in its own right. Fascinating. If a novel can inform as well as entertain, then for me, it's a winner.

Highly recommended. I look forward to reading more from Tim Frost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timothy J Frost - a real find! 28 April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Bought this on Kindle as it was so reasonable. Excellent story, interesting characters (good & bad!) and a well written story line with lots fo unexpected twists. Once you start it's difficult to put down until you finish. Certainly will follow this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is something different! 1 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I downloaded this book as it seemed to be a reasonable price and I had become frustrated with a number of books I had read recently which were absolute rubbish so I was hoping to be entertained by this one! Must say I was very pleased. This story really is different. Many twists and turns that were not expected as the plot unfolded. Perhaps the author has travelled the oceans himself as he seemed to be so knowledgeable about sailing. Or perhaps he is a very good researcher. I must say I knew nothing about sailing but know a bit more having read this book! I notice that one reviewer has commented that the main character is not particularly likeable - but that is ok as it makes the story more believeable. Much travelling is done throughout this book and there are many adventures! I thoroughly enjoyed it and was entertained right up to the end. Recommended.

I have just finished this book by Timothy Frost and whilst it is the first I've read of his it certainly will not be the last. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable.....but
Enjoyable enough but with possibly fathomable ending. Plot-line a bit too extended and then a bit of a rushed ending in comparison to the build-up. I enjoyed it the more I read

from start to finish I found this gripping enough to keep me goign but also a really easy read not heavy going at all

5.0 out of 5 stars Very accomplished
I loved this - the first person narrator is flawed, stupid, but also engaging with a real 'voice'. The plotting is very good. It's a thriller, so don't expect total verisimilitude. Read more

Fantastic book with various tacks and jybes throughout the book. More like match racing. Pitting one against another quarters given
