We all rely totally on a network of under sea communications cables that enable all that sustains, feeds, protects and connects our daily lives. What if - Just One Day - someone cuts some of them- is it criminal or political? The story starts on the clifftops of Cornwall and moves to life amidst the gleam and glamour of the superyachts in Monte Carlo, and continues around the Islands of Sardinia and the French Connections of Corsica. Closer inspection reveals many-if not most - of the yachts hiding their ownership behind 'Flags of Convenience.' Or as is later suggested 'Flags of Inconvenience' for those trying to solve an undersea riddle. Sharing the same seas and flags -but not the champagne lifestyle, a fleet of filthy dirty, smokey old fishing boats in need of a lot more than a lick of paint.'
As ever with Harry's books- despite it's relaxed style it touches on a reality that best be addressed before fact takes over from fiction. And the clock is ticking...especially late one night in the Portugal's Lagos harbour. A modern tale with as one critic said-Peter Mayle meets James Bond..and more.
