Sobre este artículo
London: Collins, 1981. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is clean and fresh, showing no marks or wear. The green covers are bright, with light wear at tips and corners. The gilt spine lettering is still shiny. The dust jacket is price-clipped, but is otherwise in very good condition, with just a touch of wear at tips and corners. Synopsis: "Highlander was torpedoed off the coast of Scotland in 1941. There was a storm and she sank almost immediately, taking with her not only Captain Herschell and all his crew but also the Captain's precious sextant from which he was never parted. Or so the Admiralty said at the time. And so his son John firmly believed. Until, forty years later, he was hailed to the Strathclyde Police H.Q. to identify the proceeds of a robbery; only to find among the loot his father's sextant in its immaculate rosewood box, burnished and polished -- and very definitely not resurrected from any watery grave. And so John and his girlfriend Fran set off in quest of the truth, to the isolated village of Laichy on its sea loch".
