Book excerpt: Spring 1940 – a dense sea fog envelopes the north Cornish coast just south of Trevose Head and the treacherous Quies rocks. Lurking nearby is a German submarine, stranded after its engines failed. When two local children row their small boat to investigate this strange shape in the water, a chain of events is unleashed that will change lives forever. Summer 1985 – shortly after leaving a Test match at Lord’s, the quiet and solitary Frank Fox stumbles on what appears to be an attack on a young girl in a park in St John’s Wood. Despite his age and aching bones, Frank overcomes the assailant and rescues the child. But what seems like a random event is not what it seems as Frank is thrown into a dark political underworld of terror. Can these two seemingly separate, distant worlds meet? Quies Rocks is the story of a family destroyed by war and rebuilt, decades later, by extraordinary circumstance.

Book excerpt: The ship that will not obey the helm must obey the rocks. Trevose Head, the land mass jutting out into the Atlantic from North Cornwall's shore, has been called the Lizard of the North Coast. This beautiful but inhospitable coast has seen many disasters over the centuries, from ocean-going sailing ships blown off course to coastal vessels bound for Wales and the Bristol Channel foundering and colliding, and colliers blowing up. Both world wars also saw intense activity off Trevose as German U-boats attempted to prevent supplies from reaching the UK. The torpedoing of HMS Warwick in February 1944 deeply affected the whole community. This illustrated history reveals the many shipwrecks to plague the notorious Trevose Head and considers the development of safety at sea, starting with the erection of Trevose Lighthouse in 1857, a project strenuously opposed by most seafarers at the time as it was believed that lighthouses attracted pirates like moths to a flame. A must for all shipwreck and local historians and those with a love of the Cornish coastline.
